  • After 25-30 minutes, first dust a tofu slice with corn starch, then dip it in peri peri & EVOO mix, then coat it well with panko then place it on a baking sheet on top of parchment paper. Repeat this step for each tofu slice.
  • Bake the tofu slices/wings for upto 30 minutes. Turn them half way through. You can bake it longer if you wish to crisp it more, be sure to not burn them.
  • Once baked, place them in a big bowl. Toss them with ¼ cup of peri peri sauce.
