Ingredients

6 oz extra-firm tofu (Drained and patted dry, but not pressed)
2 tbsp nutritional yeast
0.25 tsp dried basil (¼ teaspoon each of dried basil, thyme, rosemary, and red pepper flakes)
0.25 tsp dried thyme (¼ teaspoon each of dried basil, thyme, rosemary, and red pepper flakes)
0.25 tsp dried rosemary (¼ teaspoon each of dried basil, thyme, rosemary, and red pepper flakes)
0.25 tsp red pepper flakes (¼ teaspoon each of dried basil, thyme, rosemary, and red pepper flakes)
salt (To taste)
black pepper (To taste)

Steps

1
Do not press the tofu. Drain it and lightly pat it dry with a paper towel, keeping it fairly moist on the outside. Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes.
2
In a small plate or bowl, mix together the nutritional yeast, dried basil, dried thyme, dried rosemary, and red pepper flakes.
3
Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
4
Press every side of each tofu cube into the seasoning mixture until the cubes are well coated.
5
Arrange the coated tofu cubes on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
6
Bake at 425°F for 25 minutes, or until the tofu nuggets are nice and crispy.
7
Alternatively, cook the tofu nuggets in an air fryer at 425°F for 25 minutes.
8
Let the nuggets cool slightly so they peel easily from the parchment paper. Serve and enjoy.

Notes

The recipe does not require a binder because the moisture on the tofu helps the dry seasoning adhere. For an air fryer, use the same temperature and cooking time.
