Tofu Fingers

These are a tasty, nutritious alternative to chicken fingers!  I've eaten these when my family had Buffalo tenders, and I drenched them in Buffalo sauce and dipped in Ranch dressing.
Ingredients
  1. 2 packages firm tofu (I used 14 ounce packs)
  2. 1/2 cup nutritional yeast (you will not use it all)
  3. no-salt seasoning
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Cut each tofu block into 12 equal slices. Slice the block in half, then slice each half in half again--now you have fourths. Cut each fourth into 3 slices, about 1/4 inch thick.
  3. Lightly press slices with a paper towel--do not take all the water out, this will be what binds the nutritional yeast.
  4. Pour 1/2 cup nutritional yeast into plate. Coat each slice of tofu in nutritional yeast. Start with the edges then do the sides, this will minimize buildup on your fingers.
  5. Lay each slice on your prepared baking sheet.
  6. After all slices are coated, sprinkle liberally with your favorite no-salt seasoning.
  7. Bake in the oven, at 375 degrees for 30 - 40 minutes (depending on your desired crunch). You do not need to flip the slices during baking. You'll know they are ready when the edges are just starting to get brown.
  8. Let rest for at least 5 minutes before using a spatula to remove.
