    Ingredients

    Amounts for
    • 400g extra firm tofu, pressed
    • ⅔ tbsp olive oil
    • 1 tbsp soy sauce
    • 1 tsp onion powder, divided
    • 1 tsp garlic granules, divided
    • 45g plain flour
    • 80ml almond milk
    • 16 tbsp panko breadcrumbs
    • ¼ tsp salt
    • ½ tsp paprika

    Method

    1. Slice the tofu into 2cm chunks.

    2. Get a large frying pan hot over a medium heat with the oil in it. Brown the tofu for 3 minutes.

    3. Sprinkle over half of the garlic granules and half of the onion powder, splash in the soy sauce, then turn every piece so it picks up the glaze. Give it 2-3 minutes more, then lift off the heat to cool a little.

    4. Set the oven to 200°C (fan 180°C) and cover a big baking tray with baking paper.

    5. In a mixing bowl, beat together the almond milk, flour and remaining garlic granules and onion powder to a smooth batter. Tip in the tofu and stir so each piece is coated.

    6. Scatter over the paprika, salt and panko, then toss once more so the crumbs stick all over. Space the pieces out on the tray, none touching.

    7. Roast for 20 minutes, flipping halfway, until crunchy and deep golden.
