Press tofu for about 30 minutes between a tofu press or a weighted plate to remove excess moisture.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Slice the pressed tofu into triangles or desired shapes about 1-inch thick.

In a bowl, whisk together soy milk, all-purpose flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne until smooth.

In another bowl, mix panko breadcrumbs with additional salt and pepper.

Coat each tofu piece in the batter, then dredge in panko breadcrumbs.

Place coated tofu on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes.

Toss baked tofu pieces in vegan BBQ sauce until well coated.

Bake sauced tofu for an additional 10 minutes.

Let cool for a minute before serving.
