Ingredients
  

  • 280 g 10 oz / 1 block firm tofu
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • Optional Toppings: Poppy seeds Sesame seeds, Black pepper, Extra paprika, Flaxseeds, Za’atar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 360°F (180°C).
  • Break the tofu into chunks and pat it dry using a paper towel. If your tofu is water-packed (most brands are), removing excess moisture helps the chips crisp better.
  • Add the tofu, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, smoked paprika, olive oil, and salt into a blender.
  • Blend until completely smooth and creamy. You’re looking for a thick, spreadable consistency with no lumps.
  • If you don't have a high speed blender, you might want to add a few tablespoons of water to help this.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Pour the mixture onto the tray and spread it evenly using a spatula.
  • Aim for about 4-5 mm thickness (this is the sweet spot for crispy, chip-like texture). Pro tip: Slightly wet the back of your spatula to get that smooth, even finish.
  • Sprinkle your toppings evenly across the surface.
  • Use a knife or pizza cutter to lightly score the mixture into chip or cracker shapes. This makes breaking them later much easier.
  • Bake for 35 minutes, or until the chips are golden and crisp.💡 Important note: The edges cook faster than the center.
  • If the edges crisp up early, remove them and return the center to the oven for another 5 minutes or so.
  • This prevents burning while ensuring everything gets evenly crispy.
  • Optional: Flip the sheet halfway through baking to help the center dry out and crisp up better.
  • Let the tofu sheet cool completely then break into chips or crackers along the scored lines.

Notes

Best eaten within 3-4 days If they soften, just pop them back in the oven for 5 minutes to re-crisp.
Flavor Variations: Once you’ve made these once, you’ll want to experiment:
  • Spicy Chili Lime: Add chili powder + lime zest
  • Everything Bagel Style: Use everything bagel seasoning
  • Cheesy Ranch: Nutritional yeast + dried dill + onion powder
  • Indian-Inspired: Turmeric + cumin + chili powder
