Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 425F. Drain the extra-firm tofu (1 block) and press as much liquid out as possible using a tofu press or clean dish towel.

  2. 2

    Cut the dry tofu into even bite-sized cubes. In a large bowl, gently toss the cubes with tamari (1 tbsp) until evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Add nutritional yeast (2 tbsp) to the bowl and gently mix until the cubes are fully coated with the flakes.

  4. 4

    Transfer cubes to a baking sheet lined with a silicone mat. Bake on the top rack for 20 minutes.

  5. 5

    Carefully flip the cubes and bake for an additional 20 to 30 minutes until very crispy. Let cool slightly before serving.
