Equipment

1 Baking Sheet

Ingredients

1 pound super-firm tofu
1 tablespoon Bragg's liquid aminos Tamari soy sauce (gluten-free)
1/2 cup vegan mayo (optional)
1/4 cup nutritional yeast flakes
1/4 cup brown rice flour
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
Pinch of Cayenne pepper (optional)

Instructions

If using firm or x-firm tofu, press tofu between paper towels to remove excess water. Then cut into strips or cubes and marinate with Bragg's liquid aminos for 20 minutes. (If you are using the vegan mayo, mix it with the Bragg's liquid aminos and coat it with the tofu. Then you will proceed to coat with dry ingredients as follows.)
In another bowl combine the remaining ingredients well. Coat tofu with dry herb mix and place on a greased baking sheet. You may spray with oil at this point.
Bake at 400 degrees for approximately 30 minutes turning halfway. You may also cook on a lightly oiled frying pan until golden and crispy.
