Baked Crispy Tofu

Directions

1. Add the garlic to a bowl with the olive oil, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, sweet paprika, oregano, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
2. Cut the tofu into 1/2" thick slices and add to the bowl to fully coat in the dressing.
3. In a shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
4. Add the tofu slices to the breadcrumb mixture and coat fully on all sides.
5. Place the tofu in an even row on a lined air fryer sheet and spray with olive oil.
6. Preheat an air fryer to 425°F and cook for 15-20 minutes, until the tofu is golden brown and crispy. (You can also cook in a conventional oven at 400°F for 20-25 minutes.)
7. Use the crispy tofu in sandwiches, wraps, or on top of salads for extra protein. For my wrap, I folded the crispy tofu into a collard green wrap with shaved carrots, sliced avocado, and chopped sprouts.
