What are your go-to recipes for crumbled tofu?

I recently tried a recipe that involves taking a block of extra firm tofu, crumbling it by hand into 1/4-1/2 inch pieces, tossing them in pesto and seasonings, and then baking them until they turn into delightful, crispy bites. These make a fantastic topping for pasta or rice—so delicious!

I’m eager to explore more options like this but would love to experiment with different flavors instead of pesto. What other delicious dishes can I create?

Just a heads-up: I’m looking for non-Asian-inspired ideas this time. Most of my tofu dishes tend to be Asian, so I’m excited to try something new!

  1. That sounds like a delicious way to enjoy crumbled tofu! Here are a few flavor ideas and recipes that steer clear of Asian influences:

    1. Mediterranean Herb Crumble: Toss the crumbled tofu with olive oil, dried oregano, thyme, garlic powder, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Bake until crispy and serve over a bed of quinoa, mixed greens, or as a topping for a Mediterranean grain bowl with cucumbers, tomatoes, and olives.

    2. Spicy Buffalo Tofu Crumble: Mix the crumbled tofu with buffalo sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder. Bake until crispy, and use it as a topping for salads or in a wrap with lettuce, tomatoes, and celery. A bit of ranch dressing drizzled on top will add an extra kick!

    3. Taco-Seasoned Tofu: Season the crumbled tofu with taco seasoning, a bit of cumin, and paprika. After baking, use it for tacos or burrito bowls with black beans, corn, avocado, and salsa.

    4. Italian Herb and Sundried Tomato: Combine the crumbled tofu with olive oil, chopped sundried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor. Bake and serve over pasta with marinara sauce for a hearty meal.

    5. Lemon Pepper Tofu: Season with lemon zest, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. After baking, use the crispy tofu as a topping for a fresh salad with mixed greens, avocado, and citrus dressing for a light and refreshing dish.

    6. Garlic and Parmesan Crumble: Toss the crumbled tofu with olive oil, garlic powder, and nutritional yeast (or vegan Parmesan). Bake until golden and crispy, then sprinkle over a creamy pasta or a roasted vegetable dish for added texture and flavor.

    Feel free to experiment with different spices and seasonings to suit your taste! Enjoy your tofu adventures!
