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!
280g/ 10 oz extra firm tofu*(or super firm tofu if in the US)
1TBSPlow sodium soy sauce
1TBSPextra 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!
Notes
* I use TofooStorage Tips: Store the crumbles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days, or freeze for longer storage.
