Equipment

  • Air fryer
  • Baking sheet

Ingredients

  • 6 ounces extra firm tofu drained and patted dry, but not pressed
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • ¼ teaspoon each of dried basil, thyme, rosemary, red pepper flakes
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • No need to press your tofu for this. Keep the tofu pretty moist, just drain and lightly pat with a paper towel, and then cut into 1-inch cubes.
  • In a small plate or bowl, mix together the nutritional yeast and spices, then press every side of your tofu cubes into the seasoning until it’s well coated.
  • Put your cubes on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 425°F for 25 minutes or until they are nice and crispy!
  • If you are using an air fryer, use the same heat and time.
  • Let them cool a bit and then they will peel right off of the parchment paper. Serve and enjoy!
