Step-By-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Press the firm tofu to remove excess moisture for about 15 minutes, then slice it into 1-inch strips.
In a bowl, mix honey and mustard to create a smooth glaze.
Dip each tofu strip in the honey mustard mixture, then roll it in breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder and paprika.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the coated tofu strips with space in between.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through for even doneness.
Let the tenders cool slightly before serving warm with extra honey mustard sauce on the side.
