Tofu-Veggie Scramble: A Plant-Based Whole30 Breakfast Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 (14-to-16 oz) super-firm tofu ,drained
- 3 tbsps nutritional yeast
- ¾ tsp black salt
- ½ tsp ground turmeric
- ¼ tsp smoked paprika
- 2 tbsps extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 cups finely chopped vegetables, such as broccoli, Brussel sprouts, red bell pepper, kale, summer squash, shallot, and/or green onion tops
- ½ tsp coarse salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ⅓ cup assorted olives
Instructions
- Finely crumble the tofu into a medium bowl. In a small bowl stir together the nutritional yeast, black salt, turmeric, and smoked paprika. Sprinkle seasoning on tofu and stir to combine.
- In an extra-large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Add the vegetables and season with salt and black pepper. Cook, stirring often, until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Push the vegetables to the outer edges of the skillet, creating an empty center. Add 1 tablespoon oil to the center of the skillet. Add the seasoned tofu and cook, stirring, until tofu is heated through, about 3 minutes. Add chopped olives, then stir vegetables and tofu together and cook 1 minute more.
- Divide scramble among 4 serving plates.
Notes
Tip: Super-firm tofu doesn’t need to be pressed. If you buy extra-firm instead, press out the excess water before crumbling. To press a block of tofu, wrap the block in a dish towel and place on a rimmed plate. Place a cast-iron skillet on top or other heavy object on top; let tofu drain for 20 minutes. This can be done up to 24 hours ahead of time.
