For the triangles:
one 14- or 15-ounce block extra-firm tofu, pressed if possible to remove some moisture
1 tablespoon vegetable oil (if pan-frying)
1 cup commercial almond meal (like Bob's Red Mill) or homemade almond meal (simply grind a heaping cup of almonds to a fine meal in the food processor)
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
1/2 teaspoon sweet or smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
For the marinade:
1/3 cup water
2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons cornstarch or tapioca starch

1
If you'd like to bake the tofu, preheat your oven to 350u00b0 F.
2
To prepare the tofu, cut the block into four large cubes, and then cut each in half diagonally to create 8 triangles. Whisk the marinade ingredients together in a large bowl and add the tofu pieces. Cover and marinate for at least 2 hours and up to 8.
3
Mix together the almond coating ingredients (from almond meal to garlic powder) in a mixing bowl. Coat each piece of tofu in the coating mixture. Transfer the tofu pieces to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the pieces are golden brown, flipping once halfway through baking.
4
Alternately, you can heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large, cast-iron skillet. Add the tofu triangles and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
