Ingredients

• 14 ounces firm tofu
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 cup yellow onion
• 0.5 cup red bell pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups spinach
• 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes

Directions

Step 1

Start by draining the tofu and pressing it to remove excess moisture. Wrap the tofu block in a clean kitchen towel, place it on a plate, and set a heavy object on top for about 10 minutes.

Step 2

While the tofu is being pressed, dice the onion and red bell pepper, and halve the cherry tomatoes.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and red bell pepper. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Crumble the pressed tofu into the skillet using your hands or a fork to achieve a scrambled texture.

Step 5

Add turmeric, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the skillet, stirring well to coat the tofu and vegetables with the spices.

Step 6

Cook the mixture for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tofu is slightly golden.

Step 7

Stir in the spinach and nutritional yeast, and cook for another 2 minutes until the spinach is wilted.

Step 8

Finally, add the cherry tomatoes and gently toss everything together. Cook for an additional minute just to warm the tomatoes.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then serve hot. Enjoy your delicious tofu scramble with toast or as a filling for breakfast burritos.
