Prepare marinade in a medium bowl: garlic, salt, pepper, herbs de Provence, onion, and paprika. Add tofu and allow to marinade for at least one hour.
Prepare breading: combine panko breadcrumbs, herbs de Provence and pepper with the grated Parmesan cheese in a large bowl and set aside.
Prepare two bowls; one with flour and one with whisked eggs. These bowls will be used for dipping and coating the tofu.
Slice tofu into long strips like string cheese.
Dip each piece of tofu in the flour bowl, then dip into the egg bowl, then into the panko Parmesan cheese bowl. Place coated tofu on a plate until all tofu has been coated.
Deep frying the tofu: I use a Fry Daddy for frying my tofu. Once the oil is hot begin adding coated tofu to the hot oil cooking 2-3 at a time until golden brown. Remove from hot oil and place on a plate covered with a couple layers of paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Repeat until all tofu slices are fried.
Serve with a Marinara dipping sauce.
Enjoy!
