Last night I wanted a quick, easy dinner as it was a beautiful day and I didn’t want to spend hours in the kitchen prepping. Enter the Spicy Tofu Scramble. We are breakfast for dinner people so I’m not ashamed to admit that we often serve this traditional breakfast food at night. I dress it up and mix up the flavors so it never gets boring and this version is our current favorite.
If you’ve never tried Tofu before and are a little frightened this is the recipe you should start with. It’s essentially fool proof as there’s no pressing or marinating and you’re family will think you’re a genius!
Spicy Tofu Scramble
Ingredients:
- 1 pound of tofu {drained and rinsed}
- 3 tbsp dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp onion powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp tumeric
- 1/2 c nutritional yeast
- 1 c salsa
- 1/4 c dried parsley
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 425
- In a large bowl crumble your tofu into small pieces.
- Add the dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, tumeric and nutritional yeast. Stir until combined.
- Add the salsa and dried parsley. Mix well.
- Pour the mixture into the baking pan.
- Bake for 30 minutes, stirring once.
- Remove from the oven and enjoy!
Extra Information:
- We love to use the scramble as a filling for toasted english muffin sandwiches.
- You can adjust the heat to your liking by choosing the spiciness of the salsa.
- Depending on the tofu sometimes the mixture can be a bit dry. In this instance I would add a little more salsa to makes sure it stays moist in the oven.
