Here’s the thing: I’ve never been much of a breakfast person. But this tofu scramble definitely gives me something to look forward to on a laidback Sunday morning. It’s also a great way to clean out your veggies and prepare your fridge for the new week.
This tofu scramble can be served several ways — my favorite is paired with Siete’s cassava flour tortillas and a side of avocado. I mean, hellllloooo: tortillas (gluten free), avocado (healthy fats), turmeric (anti-inflammatory). Simply delicious and good for you.
You could also serve on toast with a side of tomatoes; or on a bed of arugula with a side of potatoes for a more filling brunch. Mimosas optional.
For a really good scramble, I prefer extra-firm tofu. It crisps up perfectly and holds the flavor for a super satisfying meal.
