Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 ounces Extra-firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 2 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Drain the tofu and pat it dry using a kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.
Using your hands, crumble the tofu into small pieces into a large mixing bowl.
Add olive oil, soy sauce, nutritional yeast, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and salt to the bowl with the crumbled tofu.
Mix everything well, ensuring the tofu crumbles are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the seasoned tofu mixture in an even layer on it.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
The protein crumble is done when it is golden brown and slightly crisp.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Use the savory protein crumble as a topping for salads, pasta, or tacos, or as a stuffing for vegetables.
