Tofu Crumbles

These tofu crumbles are perfect for adding a protein boost and satisfying texture to any dish where you’d traditionally use mince, such as Mexican Chilli, Italian Spaghetti Bolognese and English Cottage Pie!
Hands on time 5 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Servings 2

Ingredients
  

  • 280 g / 10 oz extra firm tofu* (or super firm tofu if in the US)
  • 1 TBSP low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 TBSP extra virgin olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180 C (160 C fan) / 350 F.
  • Line a large baking sheet with non-stick baking paper.
  • Using your fingers, crumble the tofu into a bowl. (I like to keep some larger chunks for added texture)
  • Sprinkle in the soy sauce and mix through to coat evenly. Repeat with the olive oil.
  • Spread the tofu crumbles in a single layer on the baking sheet, and bake for 20 minutes, stirring half way through. The crumbles are ready when they’re lightly browned and have a chewy texture. Adjust the baking time based on your desired level of chewiness - the longer they bake, the chewier they get!

Storage Tips: Store the crumbles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days, or freeze for longer storage.
