The Ingredients
1 (14-oz.) block of extra-firm tofu, drained
2 tbsp. nutritional yeast
2 tbsp. reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 tbsp. sweet paprika, plus more for sprinkling
1 tsp. Dijon mustard
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. smoked paprika
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
How to:
Preheat oven to 400º. Line a large baking sheet with parchment.
On a cutting board, sandwich tofu between doubled layers of paper towels and slowly press down to remove moisture.
In a medium bowl, whisk nutritional yeast, soy sauce, oil, sweet paprika, mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Add tofu and mash into small pieces, then mix with sauce until combined; season with salt and pepper.
Transfer the tofu mixture to the prepared sheet and spread in an even layer. Sprinkle with more sweet paprika.
Step 5Bake tofu until crumbles are slightly golden brown and starting to crisp 20 to 25 minutes
