Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 14 ounces firm/extra firm tofu
- 2 Tablespoons avocado oil
- 3 Tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 Tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Remove the tofu from the package and strain. Then, cut in half length-wise and place between sheets of paper towels or a tofu press for 5-10 minutes to remove excess moisture.
- Add the oil to a large pan and turn on the heat. Once the oil is hot, take the pressed tofu and use your hands or a spatula to crumble it into pan. Use the spatula to break up any larger pieces of tofu and stir.
- Add the soy sauce, nutritional yeast, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, and onion powder to the pan of tofu. Then, mix to coat.
- Continue cooking the tofu for 15-20 minutes, stirring consistently, until it is browned and crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.
- Remove the tofu crumbles from the heat and serve immediately or add to your favorite recipe. Enjoy!
Notes
- While they are truly best right after cooking, tofu crumbles can be stored in a closed container in the fridge for 3-4 days. You can enjoy cold or warmed up.
- To cook the tofu crumbles in the oven, add the crumbled firm tofu to a bowl and mix with the seasoning, oil, and soy sauce. Then, pour them onto a parchment-lined baking tray and bake at 350F for around 30 minutes or until crispy on the outside with chewy centers.
