Ingredients: 1 (16 ounce) package water-packed firm tofu, drained and rinsed; 6 tablespoons nutritional yeast; ½ teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste; salt and ground black pepper to taste; 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil

Firm tofu breaded with nutritional yeast then pan-fried until golden brown. Creates a crispy breading. Great with hash browns and toast for a weekend breakfast, lunch, whatever! My daughter likes to dip this in ketchup. Excellent in a sandwich. For a low-fat version you can also bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) on a nonstick baking sheet for 15 to 20 minutes.

Roll tofu slices in the nutritional yeast mixture until evenly coated.


Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over low to medium heat. Add tofu slices; cook until golden brown and crispy, 3 to 5 minutes per side.


I really like nutritional yeast as a coating for frying. This is a very nice recipe. I ate the tofu slices as is just with a side of veggies but I think I will definitely use this on a sandwich or in a Buddha bowl. The only issue I had was to get the yeast to stick. It stuck to my fingers more than the tofu at one point. So next time I will use the plastic bag method to help get the coating evenly over the tofu. Thank you for the recipe.

Could add a little cornstarch to the breading mixture too.

I added some part cheese with the yeast! So good!
