Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Vegan Buffalo Tofu Wings
  1. Preheat your oven to 420°F (215°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Slice the super firm tofu into 18 strips, pressing lightly between kitchen towels to remove excess moisture.
  3. Set up your breading station with three bowls: mix cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper in the first; unsweetened non-dairy milk in the second; and combine panko breadcrumbs with Italian seasoning in the third.
  4. Coat each tofu strip in the cornstarch mixture, dip in non-dairy milk, and then roll in panko, placing them on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 25 minutes, keeping an eye on them to ensure they turn light golden brown.
  6. Toss the baked tofu in your Frank's Red Hot Sauce or vegan buffalo sauce until evenly coated.
  7. Return the coated tofu wings to the baking sheet and bake for an additional 20 minutes for added crispiness.
  8. Serve the wings warm with crunchy celery sticks and your favorite vegan ranch or blue cheese dressing.
