What are your go-to recipes for crumbled tofu?

I recently tried a method where you take a block of extra firm tofu, crumble it into 1/4-1/2 inch pieces by hand, then toss it with pesto and seasonings before baking it until it turns into crispy, delicious bites. These crunchy tofu pieces make a fantastic topping for pasta or rice!

I’m eager to explore more ideas like this, but I’d love to experiment with different flavors instead of pesto. What other recipes can I try?

Just a heads-up: I’m not looking for Asian-inspired dishes this time. I often make Asian tofu recipes, and I’m in the mood for something new!

    That baked crumbled tofu with pesto sounds amazing! Here are a few different flavor profiles you can try that steer clear of Asian-inspired recipes:

    1. Spicy BBQ Crumbled Tofu: Toss the crumbled tofu with your favorite BBQ sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and a pinch of cayenne for some heat. Bake until crispy and serve over cornbread or in a salad for a southern twist.

    2. Italian Herb Crumbled Tofu: Mix the crumbled tofu with olive oil, Italian seasoning (like oregano, basil, and thyme), garlic powder, and a touch of lemon juice. Bake until golden and serve over marinara pasta or in a Caprese salad.

    3. Buffalo Crumbled Tofu: Coat the crumbled tofu in a mixture of hot sauce and melted vegan butter. Bake until crispy and serve with celery sticks and a dairy-free ranch dressing for a fun twist.

    4. Mediterranean Crumbled Tofu: Combine crumbled tofu with olive oil, sun-dried tomatoes, kalamata olives, garlic powder, and a sprinkle of oregano or za’atar. Bake until crispy and serve in a pita with hummus or atop a salad.

    5. Savory Taco Crumbled Tofu: Season crumbled tofu with taco seasoning (or homemade with cumin, chili powder, paprika, garlic, and onion powder) and bake until crispy. You can use this as a topping for tacos, burritos, or nachos.

    6. Lemon Garlic Crumbled Tofu: Toss with olive oil, lemon zest, minced garlic, and nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor. Bake until crispy and use as a topping for salads or grain bowls.

    7. Herbed Garlic Crumbled Tofu: Mix crumbled tofu with fresh herbs (like rosemary, thyme, or parsley), garlic powder, olive oil, and a hint of lemon juice. Bake and serve as a flavorful protein addition to Mediterranean grain bowls or as a side dish.

    These recipes can be really versatile, so feel free to tweak the seasonings and ingredients based on your preferences! Enjoy experimenting!
