Ingredients

Instructions

  • Drain the two blocks of tofu and place them inside of a tofu press for about 15 minutes. If you don't have a tofu press you can wrap the tofu in dish clothes and carefully place heavy books on top of them to help express some of the extra liquid.
  • While the tofu is pressing, preheat your oven to 400 °F and grease a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  • Prepare the tofu marinade by whisking together the remaining ingredients in a mixing bowl. Don't add the optional salt until later, if needed.
  • Once your tofu has been pressed, use your hands to crumble it into the marinade. Stir everything well to combine, breaking up any large piece of tofu as you go.
  • Pour the tofu crumbles onto the greased baking sheet and spread it out into a single layer. Bake the tofu for about 30-40 minutes, stirring halfway through, until browned and slightly crispy in parts.
  • Serve warm with all your favorite taco fixings!

Notes

I love to use these Vegan Taco Tofu Crumbles to make Vegan Freezer Breakfast Burritos, so be sure to check out that recipe! They also make for a great protein source for vegan burrito bowls and nachos using these Super Simple Vegan Nacho Cheese Sauce.
