Ingredients
  

  • 2 blocks extra firm tofu (14oz blocks)
  • ½ cup nutritional yeast
  • 3 tablespoon tamari or soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 teaspoon fennel seeds
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne powder optional

Instructions
 

  • Press or pat tofu dry. Set oven for 400°
  • Crumble dried tofu using hands in medium bowl and add in all remaining ingredients. Mix until combined well and all tofu is coated in spices.
  • Place tofu mixture on baking sheet lined silicone mat (or parchment paper), spread out in a single layer. Use two baking sheets if necessary.
  • Bake for 25 minutes. No need to flip. Eat as is or use as you would crumbled sausage! The little crispy bits are the best, so don't leave them behind!

Notes

Enjoy as you would your favorite sausage crumbles or with my Creamy Creole Penne! Don't leave behind the crispy bits, those are the best part!
Note- Feel free to half the recipe! I made the recipe large because its hard to resist snacking! By the time you're ready to use it half of it's gone already
