Instructions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking pan with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
Step 2
Cube the pressed tofu. Place in a medium bowl. Add tamari and gently toss with a spatula to coat.
Step 3
Then sprinkle cornstarch on top, evenly dispersing it so it doesn't clump in one spot. Then sprinkle on the nutritional yeast. Gently toss well to evenly coat the cubes. (Some may break a little, that's okay.)
Step 4
Place coated tofu spaced apart on a lined baking pan. Bake for 20 minutes. Flip, then bake for 18-20 more minutes.

Tips

Step 5
*Pressing tofu: Use a tofu press for several hours or overnight. (If you don't have a tofu press, then press between paper towels or kitchen towels to remove as much excess moisture as possible.)
Step 6
Flavor variations: Add 1/2 tsp. seasoning such as garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, or curry powder, etc. Stir it in with the tamari before adding to better disperse the flavor. (I like 1/4 tsp. garlic + 1/4 tsp. onion.)
Step 7
Tofu shape: Instead of cubes, you could also tear the tofu in small bite-sized pieces.
