Ingredients
- 1 cup textured vegetable protein (TVP)
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, combine the textured vegetable protein (TVP) with the vegetable broth. Stir well and let it sit for about 5 minutes until the TVP rehydrates and absorbs the liquid.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Step 3
Once the oil is hot, add the rehydrated TVP to the skillet, spreading it evenly across the surface.
Step 4
Pour the soy sauce over the TVP and stir well to ensure even coating.
Step 5
Add onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cumin, black pepper, and salt to the skillet. Stir continuously for about 5-7 minutes until the TVP begins to crisp and brown slightly.
Step 6
Sprinkle the nutritional yeast over the TVP and mix it in thoroughly. Continue cooking for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the crumble becomes slightly crispy and golden.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from heat and let the protein crumble cool slightly.
Step 8
Serve the protein crumble warm as a topping for salads, casseroles, tacos, or enjoy it as a standalone protein-packed dish.
