For extra crispiness, gently press the tofu between paper towels to remove excess moisture before slicing. Adjust the amount of garlic powder, salt, and pepper to suit your taste. Serve immediately for the best texture. Pairs well with various dipping sauces, salads, or as a protein boost in sandwiches.
