Ingredients
  • 1/3 cup gluten-free panko crumbs (or another gf breadcrumbs)
  • 1/3 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1/2 tbsp everything bagel seasoning
  • salt, to taste (some premade seasonings are already salty, only add salt if your mix does not contain salt)
  • 1/2 cup chickpea flour*
  • 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp water
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 pack extra firm tofu (pressed is the best!)
  • oil or cooking spray
Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Farenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchement paper and lightly cover with oil.

  2. You will need two medium sized shallow bowls. In one, mix the panko, nutritional yeast, everything bagel seasoning, and salt (if using). In the other bowl, mix the chickpea flour, water, and apple cider vinegar.

  3. Lighlty pat the tofu to remove excess moisture then slice into strips, about 1/2 inch thick.

  4. Dip the tofu into the chickpea flour mixture, shake a little to remove any excess batter. Then dip into the everything bagel seasoning mix and coat on all sides. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat this process with each piece of tofu.

  5. Bake the strips for 20 minutes, remove from oven and flip, then bake for another 10-15 minutes.

  6. Serve with your favourite dipping sauce. See below for a vegan Cream Cheese Scallion dip!
