Crispy Salt And Pepper Tofu
  1. Preheat the oven to 400F. Press the tofu for 5-10 minutes using a tofu press or by weighing it down with a heavy skillet.

  2. Using clean hands, tear the tofu into bite-sized pieces or slice into 1-inch cubes.

  3. Add 1 tablespoon of oil and ½ teaspoon kosher salt to a large bowl. Add the tofu, tossing to coat with a spatula. Sprinkle with the nutritional yeast and black pepper, tossing to coat again.

  4. Transfer to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet (optional, but keeps tofu from sticking to the baking sheet). Evenly space the tofu so that it's not overlapping.

  5. Bake at 400F for 30-35 minutes, stirring halfway way through. It's ready when golden, crispy on the outside, and still soft inside.

  6. For air fryer instructions, tear the tofu into bite-sized pieces or slice into 1-inch cubes.

  7. Add 1 teaspoon of oil and ½ teaspoon kosher salt to a large bowl. Add the tofu, tossing to coat with a spatula. Sprinkle with the nutritional yeast and black pepper, tossing to coat again.

  8. Transfer the tofu to the air fryer basket. Evenly space the tofu so that it's not overlapping.

  9. Air fry at 375F for 18-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. The tofu is ready when golden, crispy on the outside, and still soft inside.
