Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Tofu: Freeze the super-firm or extra-firm tofu overnight; then defrost in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours and press to remove excess moisture.
  2. Mix the Flavorful Paste: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, dill pickle juice, agave syrup, vegetable broth powder, sweet paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and nutritional yeast. Whisk until a thick paste forms.
  3. Coat the Tofu Chunks: Break the pressed tofu into thumb-sized chunks and fold into the flavor paste until thoroughly coated.
  4. Bake to Perfect Crispiness: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, space the coated tofu nuggets on the sheet, and bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Allow the nuggets to cool for a few minutes and serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
