Nutritional Yeast Tofu
Savory Nutritional Yeast Tofu only requires a few ingredients to make and is perfect as a main dish or in grain bowls, salads, or wraps. My family loves this tofu, and I just know that yours will, too!
Servings 4 servings
Ingredients
For the Marinade
- 1 block extra firm tofu pressed and cut into small cubes
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F.
- In a large bowl, mix together the nutritional yeast, garlic powder, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt. The mixture will be pretty thick, but don't worry. It will coat the tofu like a charm. Add the tofu to the bowl, and fold the tofu pieces into the nutritional yeast mixture.
To Air Fry
- Transfer the coated tofu to your air fryer basket. Air fry at 400F for 15 minutes, shaking gently after 10 minutes.
To Bake
- Transfer the coated tofu to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 30 minutes, no need to flip.

Notes
- When you make the nutritional yeast mixture, it may seem like there isn't enough to coat the tofu. But this mixture goes a long way, baby! Just go with it. Don't worry if the pieces crumble a bit. Those little bits are delicious!
