Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Drain and press the tofu to remove excess moisture for 15-20 minutes.

Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes or nuggets.

In a bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

In another bowl, mix bread crumbs and nutritional yeast.

Dip each tofu piece into the flour mixture, then into the bread crumbs to coat evenly.

Place the coated tofu nuggets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Drizzle olive oil over the nuggets for extra crispiness.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Serve with soy sauce, mustard, or your favorite dipping sauce.
