- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder

Directions
- Drain the tofu and wrap in a clean dish towel. Set something heavy on top and press for 30 minutes to remove as much moisture as possible.

- Preheat the oven to 400F.
- In a bowl, stir together flour, panko breadcrumbs, and all the seasonings.
- Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes. Dip the tofu cubes into the flax egg mixture and then the flour/panko mixture. Place coated tofu onto a baking sheet. Drizzle with some olive oil.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then flip over the tofu pieces and bake for another 15-20 minutes, until crispy and golden brown. Serve with a side of Organicville® Ketchup.
