Gluten-Free Tofu Scramble Ingredients

• Olive oil — or other oil/vegan butter
• Minced Garlic — rich in antioxidants, it boosts the immune system, reduces blood pressure, and lowers cholesterol.
• Fire-roasted peppers and onions — I love the ones from Trader Joe’s
• Nutritional yeast — A delicious, savory, cheesy, and nutty flavor, loved by vegans and gluten-free friends. It’s packed with nutrients, including high levels of protein, fiber, iron, niacin, and B vitamins. Do not skip this ingredient!
• Gluten-Free Adobe — a very versatile and savory ingredient that adds an extra level of flavoring
• Salt & Pepper — to taste, preferably ground Himalayan salt and pepper
• Turmeric — is a very colorful ingredient with many medicinal properties.
• Red pepper flakes — pack a little punch.
• Frozen spinach — 10 ounce package found in your local grocery store freezer section
• Firm Tofu — Use firm or extra-firm tofu

Tips for Making this Recipe or Tips for Success:

Meal Prep: Want to start your morning weekdays off right? Prep this meal on Sundays, place it in 3-4 containers, and you are ready for a healthy week ahead.

Crumble the tofu:  to create a scrambled egg-like texture, crumble a bit more.

Use gluten-free spices: Check your spices and confirm they are gluten-free, I prefer to use McCormick or Badia brands because they have undergone more rigorous gluten-free testing.

Gluten-Free Tofu Scramble Variations:

• Seasonings: Add in your favorite seasonings and a dash of hot sauce for added flavor. Too much tumeric will not only change the color, but alter the taste of the scramble, so try to avoid being overzealous.
• For added creaminess: Add 1-2 tbs. non-dairy milk like cashew milk
• Don’t have minced garlic? Substitute 1/4 tsp. garlic power instead

How to Store It

Store in the fridge in an airtight container, preferably food prep containers, for 3-4 days.
