1 teaspoon of garlic powder

Keeps well in a container in the refrigerator for 2 - 3 days
METHOD
Preheat. Set the oven to 375°F.
Get saucy. In a large bowl add the nutritional yeast, olive oil, soy sauce and garlic powder. Mix together until a paste is created.
Coat. Tear the tofu into bite sized pieces and place into the mixing bowl, stirring to coat with the paste until covered evenly.
Bake. Place the coated tofu on a baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes. Set a timer for half way through to shuffle the pieces around/flip them. The tofu should come out lightly golden. If you like a crispier tofu, you can bake them for longer.
Serve. You can serve these on your salad or in a wrap or simply snack away. They also work as a protein in a stir fry. They are tasty as they are, or dip them in a sauce of your preference.
Notes from Willemijn: I normally only use one block of tofu because I like the tofu really fully coated. But you can also just double the recipe for the paste and use two blocks of tofu.
