Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 ounces firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, chopped
- 2 cups spinach, fresh
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- teaspoon salt (optional, to taste)
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
Instructions
Drain and press the tofu to remove excess moisture. This can be done by wrapping the tofu block in a clean kitchen towel and placing a heavy object on top for about 10 minutes.
Crumble the pressed tofu into a bowl using your hands or a fork until it resembles the texture of scrambled eggs.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and red bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for 4-5 minutes or until the onion becomes translucent.
Stir in the crumbled tofu and sprinkle with turmeric powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt, if using. Mix well until the tofu is evenly coated with the spices.
Continue to cook for another 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing the tofu to heat through and absorb the flavors.
Add the nutritional yeast and stir to combine.
Next, add the spinach to the skillet. Cook until just wilted, about 2 minutes.
Fold in the cherry tomatoes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until they are slightly softened.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped green onions on top.
Serve warm and enjoy your Whole30 scrambled tofu with vegetables!
