Ingredients
- 1 block of firm tofu, drained and pressed
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup buffalo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Cooking spray for baking sheet
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly spray with cooking spray for non-stick cooking.
- Begin by cutting the tofu into wing-shaped pieces or chunks, ensuring that they are uniform for even cooking.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined to form the dredging mixture.
- Coat each piece of tofu in the flour mixture, ensuring that each piece is thoroughly covered.
- Place the coated tofu on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Drizzle or spray the tops with a little olive oil to help them crisp up while baking.
- Bake the tofu in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- Once the tofu wings are done baking, remove them from the oven and toss them in a large bowl with the buffalo sauce until they are well coated.
- Return the coated wings to the baking sheet and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes to allow the sauce to adhere, creating a sticky and spicy finish.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces, such as vegan ranch or celery sticks for a refreshing crunch. Enjoy your flavorful Buffalo Tofu Wings!
