Combine nutritional yeast, flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a resealable plastic bag. Add tofu pieces in batches and gently shake until coated.

This was the first time I ever made tofu and I was really surprised at how good it tasted. I think next time I'm going to add onions and peppers to add a little bit more flavor that's more to my liking. But overall I'd make it again! Read More
