Nooch Makes Tofu Magical

These little golden nuggets are covered in nutritional yeast, or nooch, among other spices, and baked into the most delicious snack.  They have a cheesy flavor, thanks to the nutritional yeast, so you just can’t go wrong.  Choose your favorite dipping sauce, and heaven awaits.  This is a great recipe when hunger appears and you don’t have a lot of time to make something.  Nooch nuggets are done in about 30 minutes, but the prep takes no time at all.  Just sit back and wait for them to bake into perfection.  Or maybe try making them in an air fryer for an even faster way to cook them!
