Description
Loaded Tofu Scramble Bowl for One! Extra-firm tofu with chopped vegetables, leafy greens, and spices served with avocado and hot sauce.
Ingredients
- 4–6 oz extra firm tofu, drained, rinsed, pressed, and crumbled (about 1/3– 1/2 of 1 16 oz block, depending on how hungry you are!)
- avocado oil spray (optional, if Oil-Free, use veggie broth instead)
- 1/4 cup white onion, diced
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 green zucchini squash, diced
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 1 giant handful of spinach
- 1 green onion, sliced
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- ¼ tsp smoked paprika
- ¼ tsp turmeric
- 1/4 tsp curry power (optional for some heat)
- 1 TBSP nutritional yeast (optional for “cheesiness”)
- Himalayan sea salt, to taste
- Black pepper
For serving
- sliced avocado
- hot sauce
- salsa
- sesame seeds
- cilantro
Instructions
- Spray a nonstick pan with avocado oil and heat it over medium high, or alternatively, heat veggie broth for a no-oil-added option.
- Once it’s warm, add in onions and garlic powder and cook until the onions are translucent and soft, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add in the crumbled tofu and cook for another 3-5 minutes, until lightly browned.
- Next, add in bell pepper, shredded carrots, zucchini squash, and green onion, along with a pinch of Himalayan sea salt and black pepper.
- Heat the vegetables for 8-10 minutes, stirring everything frequently until veggies are fork tender.
- Within the last few minutes of sautéing, add the cumin, smoked paprika, turmeric, and optional curry powder and nutritional yeast. Stir well to combine. Add a giant handful of spinach and allow to cook for 1 minute, then turn heat to medium low and cover the pan with a lid for 2-3 minutes, or until spinach wilts.
- Serve the scramble immediately with sliced avocado, hot sauce, salsa, sesame seeds, and cilantro. Save leftover veggies and tofu for another tofu scramble bowl.
Notes
To make multiple servings, double or triple the recipe, but I found it difficult to make more than one serving at a time in one pan. I recommend heating one serving at a time!
