Ingredients

1 (12 ounce) package extra-firm tofu
3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

Drain and press tofu between paper towels until fairly dry. Slice tofu into strips or 1/2-inch cubes.
Combine nutritional yeast, flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a resealable plastic bag. Add tofu pieces in batches and gently shake until coated.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add tofu in batches and cook, turning to brown all sides, until golden brown and lightly crispy, 4 to 6 minutes. Drain on a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
