Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a #baking sheet{} with parchment paper. Pat dry @tofu{14%oz} and cut into 1-inch cubes. In a #bowl{}, toss the tofu with @olive oil{1%tbsp} and @salt{0.5%tsp} and @black pepper{0.25%tsp} until coated.

In another #bowl{}, whisk together @cornstarch{3%tbsp}, @whole wheat breadcrumbs{1%cup}, @paprika{1%tsp}, @garlic powder{1%tsp}, @onion powder{1%tsp}, and @salt{0.5%tsp} to make the coating. Dredge the tofu pieces in the coating until evenly coated.

In a small bowl, whisk together @vegan butter{2%tbsp} and @hot sauce{3%tbsp} to make a buffalo glaze. Place the coated tofu on the #baking sheet{} in a single layer and bake for ~{18%minutes}, flipping halfway through ~{9%minutes} until crisp. After removing from the oven, toss the baked tofu in the buffalo glaze until evenly coated, then return to the baking sheet and bake for ~{3%minutes} to set the glaze.

Serve the crispy buffalo tofu bites warm with celery sticks and vegan ranch if desired.
