Ingredients:
- | Ingredient | Quantity |
- |—|—|
- 1 block (14 oz) firm tofu, drained and pressed | |
- 1/2 cup chopped vegetables (onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, etc.) | |
- 1/4 cup crumbled tempeh (optional) | |
- 1/4 cup chopped vegan cheese (optional) | |
- 1/4 cup unsweetened plant-based milk | |
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast | |
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce | |
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric | |
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika | |
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper | |
- Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional) | |
- Olive oil spray | |
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Crumble the tofu with your hands or a fork. You can achieve a finer or larger crumble depending on your preference.
- In a large bowl, combine the crumbled tofu, chopped vegetables, tempeh (if using), and vegan cheese (if using).
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the plant-based milk, nutritional yeast, soy sauce, turmeric, smoked paprika, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using).
- Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and toss to coat evenly.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray.
- Spread the tofu scramble mixture in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
- Air fry for 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, or until the tofu is heated through and slightly crispy on the edges.
- Serve immediately with your favorite toast, avocado slices, salsa, or hot sauce.
Tips:
- For a finer crumble, use a tofu press to remove as much moisture from the tofu as possible.
- Be sure to not overcrowd the air fryer basket, as this will prevent the tofu from crisping up.
- If you don’t have an air fryer, you can cook the tofu scramble in a skillet over medium heat.
- Enjoy your delicious Air Fryer Tofu Scramble!
