Start with medium to firm tofu, preferably frozen and thawed, then pressed to remove excess moisture.

Prepare a marinade using honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger.

Allow the tofu to soak in the marinade for as long as possible, ideally overnight.

In a bowl, mix gluten-free flour blend with water until it reaches a pancake batter-like consistency.

Coat the marinated tofu in the gluten-free flour mixture.

Roll the coated tofu in gluten-free panko breadcrumbs for extra crunch.

Place the tofu on a baking sheet and bake until golden brown, or air fry if preferred, ensuring not to overcrowd the air fryer.

Serve the tofu with the honey garlic sauce, which can also be used with other vegetables like broccoli or chickpeas.
