Ingredients

• 14 ounces extra-firm tofu
• 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon thyme
• 0 olive oil spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Drain the tofu and press it to remove excess moisture. This can be done by placing it between two plates and adding a weight on top for about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Crumble the pressed tofu into a large mixing bowl using your hands until it resembles ground meat.

Step 4

Add the low sodium soy sauce, nutritional yeast, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and thyme to the bowl with the tofu. Mix well until the tofu crumbles are evenly coated with the seasonings.

Step 5

Spread the seasoned tofu crumbles in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Lightly spray the crumbles with olive oil spray to help with browning.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking, until the crumbles are golden brown and slightly crisp.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy as a topping for salads, bowls, or as a snack.

Step 9

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
