...  of the easiest and yummiest ways I’ve ever made tofu. I don’t really use tofu very often to be honest. When I do though, I like to play around with it and try something fun.



I think the best part about them is that you not only get to skip the annoying step of pressing the tofu, but you also only have one step of coating. You actually use the moisture in the tofu as the “batter” for this super simple snack. All you do is pour the few breading ingredients into a bowl, throw in the tofu and toss, then bake, dunzo, baby!



 


--Crispy Baked Almond Crusted Tofu Sticks (Vegan+GF)--
In the mood for a new savory snack/appetizer? These are perfect for serving at parties and gatherings or putting on salads and rice bowls!

 Prep Time 10 minutes
 Cook Time 30 minutes
 Servings 6 - 8 servings

--Ingredients--
16 ounce block firm tofu
GF breadcrumb mixture:
1/2 blanched almond flour
1/2 cup gluten free breadcrumbs
1/2 cup nutritional yeast
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper



--Instructions--
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice the tofu into sticks.

In a medium or large bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, almond flour, nutritional yeast, and seasoning, set aside. Drop the tofu into the breadcrumbs a few pieces at a time and shake the bowl side to side to easily coat all the sides of the tofu. Place on the prepared baking sheet with parchment paper.

Bake for 15 minutes, then flip the pieces and bake for 10 - 20 more minutes, until golden and crispy. Serve immediately with bbq dipping sauce or sauce of choice. P.S. these are great on salads and rice bowls! 😉<br/><br/>[![2ab67aec14f9501c3515c228aaa07b14](https://s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/backend-alpha-kw-8/2ab67aec14f9501c3515c228aaa07b14-640)](https://appics.com/referenced.html?ref=steemit.com&type=image&id=34873&url=https://s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/backend-alpha-kw-8/2ab67aec14f9501c3515c228aaa07b14-640&caption=Crispy%20Baked%20Tofu%20-%20FOOD%20PHOTO%20SNAP%0A%0AI%20made%20some%20yummy%20snacks%20for%20ya!%20These%20are%20one%20of%20the%20easiest%20and%20yummiest%20ways%20I%E2%80%99ve%20ever%20made%20tofu.%20I%20don%E2%80%99t%20really%20use%20tofu%20very%20often%20to%20be%20honest.%20When%20I%20do%20though,%20I%20like%20to%20play%20around%20with%20it%20and%20try%20something%20fun.%0A%0A%0A%0AI%20think%20the%20best%20part%20about%20them%20is%20that%20you%20not%20only%20get%20to%20skip%20the%20annoying%20step%20of%20pressing%20the%20tofu,%20but%20you%20also%20only%20have%20one%20step%20of%20coating.%20You%20actually%20use%20the%20moisture%20in%20the%20tofu%20as%20the%20%E2%80%9Cbatter%E2%80%9D%20for%20this%20super%20simple%20snack.%20All%20you%20do%20is%20pour%20the%20few%20breading%20ingredients%20into%20a%20bowl,%20throw%20in%20the%20tofu%20and%20toss,%20then%20bake,%20dunzo,%20baby!%0A%0A%0A%0A%20%0A%0A%0A--Crispy%20Baked%20Almond%20Crusted%20Tofu%20Sticks%20(Vegan+GF)--%0AIn%20the%20mood%20for%20a%20new%20savory%20snack/appetizer?%20These%20are%20perfect%20for%20serving%20at%20parties%20and%20gatherings%20or%20putting%20on%20salads%20and%20rice%20bowls!%0A%0A%20Prep%20Time%2010%20minutes%0A%20Cook%20Time%2030%20minutes%0A%20Servings%206%20-%208%20servings%0A%0A--Ingredients--%0A16%20ounce%20block%20firm%20tofu%0AGF%20breadcrumb%20mixture:%0A1/2%20blanched%20almond%20flour%0A1/2%20cup%20gluten%20free%20breadcrumbs%0A1/2%20cup%20nutritional%20yeast%0A1/2%20teaspoon%20garlic%20powder%0A1/2%20teaspoon%20onion%20powder%0A1/4%20teaspoon%20salt%0A1/4%20teaspoon%20black%20pepper%0A%0A%0A%0A--Instructions--%0APreheat%20the%20oven%20to%20375%20degrees%20F%20(190C)%20and%20line%20a%20large%20baking%20sheet%20with%20parchment%20paper.%20Slice%20the%20tofu%20into%20sticks.%0A%0AIn%20a%20medium%20or%20large%20bowl,%20combine%20the%20breadcrumbs,%20almond%20flour,%20nutritional%20yeast,%20and%20seasoning,%20set%20aside.%20Drop%20the%20tofu%20into%20the%20breadcrumbs%20a%20few%20pieces%20at%20a%20time%20and%20shake%20the%20bowl%20side%20to%20side%20to%20easily%20coat%20all%20the%20sides%20of%20the%20tofu.%20Place%20on%20the%20prepared%20baking%20sheet%20with%20parchment%20paper.%0A%0ABake%20for%2015%20minutes,%20then%20flip%20the%20pieces%20and%20bake%20for%2010%20-%2020%20more%20minutes,%20until%20golden%20and%20crispy.%20Serve%20immediately%20with%20bbq%20dipping%20sauce%20or%20sauce%20of%20choice.%20P.S.%20these%20are%20great%20on%20salads%20and%20rice%20bowls!%20%F0%9F%98%89&category=food&hashtags=photography+life+food+lifestyle&author=gringalicious&profileImageUrl=https://s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/backend-alpha-kw-8/profileImages/868-1546662941439-640&permlink=alpha-kw-8-appics-im-34873)<br/><br/>[![Powered by APPICS -
