Crispy Tofu Nuggets

(14 oz) package extra firm tofu, pressed

olive oil

tamari or soy sauce

onion powder, divided

garlic powder, divided

all purpose flour, or gluten free

plain plant based milk, I used almond

panko bread crumbs

salt

paprika

Dice the tofu into bite size pieces.  Heat a large pan over medium heat and add oil and tofu.  Cook for about 3 minutes and then add in the tamari, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder and garlic powder.  Flip tofu and try to make sure it&#8217;s all coated with the tamari and seasonings.  Cook for another 2-3 minutes and turn the heat off.  Let cool for a few minutes.

Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F.  In a large bowl whisk together the flour, milk and remaining garlic and onion powder.  Add the tofu to the batter and toss to coat.  Next, pour in the panko, paprika and salt and mix until each piece of tofu is coated with breadcrumbs.  Dump the tofu out on a large sheet pan coated with parchment paper or a non-stick mat and make sure no pieces are touching.

Bake tofu until crispy on all sides, flipping once, about 20 minutes.  Remove from the oven and enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce.

i just tried to make these, they look so delicious!
unfortunately mine did not come out like the pictures at all, the batter looked like the right consistency and mixed well with the tofu but then when i added the breadcrumbs it soaked up all the batter and make it's own clumps and didn't stick to the tofu :(
i used panko breadcrumbs, not sure if it's just the brand i used but i tried to add extra to see coat them better but it didn't stick...any suggestions?

i will try again maybe with another breadcrumb brand.
