📝 Preparation Steps
1
Prepare a rack in the upper third of oven and preheat to 425°. Oil a baking sheet; set aside. Whisk together 2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour or rice flour, 2 Tbsp. cornstarch or potato starch, 2 Tbsp. nutritional yeast, 1 Tbsp. garlic powder, 1 Tbsp. onion powder, and 1½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or ¾ tsp. Morton kosher salt in a medium bowl. Set seasoning mixture aside.

Pat 14–16-oz. block firm tofu, drained, dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel. Using your hands, break into craggy, nugget-size pieces (about 1"). Place pieces in another medium bowl and pat dry again.
3
Drizzle 1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil over tofu and, using your hands, gently toss to coat. Sprinkle reserved seasoning mixture over tofu and gently toss to coat. Drizzle with remaining 1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil and toss again. Spread tofu nuggets out on prepared baking sheet (giving them direct contact with the pan helps them get crispy).
