Spiced Vegan Scrambled Tofu
Ingredients:
One tablespoon of olive oil
1/2 onion, diced
Two cloves garlic, minced
One red bell pepper, diced
One block (14 oz) firm tofu, drained and crumbled
Two tablespoons of nutritional yeast
One teaspoon of ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions:
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the diced red bell pepper and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Crumble the firm tofu into the skillet, breaking it apart with a fork or spatula.
Add the nutritional yeast, turmeric, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine and evenly distribute the spices.
Cook the tofu scramble for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and lightly browned.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro.
Serve hot and enjoy this protein-packed vegan breakfast!
Optional Additions:
Sautéed spinach or kale
Diced tomatoes
Vegan cheese shreds
Sliced avocado
Notes:
Feel free to adjust the spices according to your taste preferences. Add more turmeric for a vibrant yellow color, or increase the paprika for a smoky kick.
Serve the scrambled tofu with whole-grain toast, avocado slices, or a side of fresh fruit for a complete breakfast experience.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave before enjoying.
