Instructions

Classic Tofu Scramble Bowl

1. Press the tofu: Wrap the block of tofu in a clean towel and place a heavy object on top. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes to remove excess moisture.
2. Prep your veggies: While the tofu presses, dice the onion, bell pepper, and slice the mushrooms and tomatoes.
3. Cook the aromatics: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in your skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms for 5 minutes, until softened.
4. Crumble the tofu: Unwrap the tofu and crumble it into the pan using your hands or a fork.
5. Season: Sprinkle turmeric, garlic powder, kala namak, salt, and pepper over the tofu. Stir well to coat evenly.
6. Add veggies: Stir in spinach and cherry tomatoes. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until spinach wilts and tomatoes soften.
7. Assemble the bowl: Divide cooked quinoa or rice between two bowls. Top with tofu scramble, sliced avocado, and your favorite hot sauce or salsa.

Chickpea Veggie Scramble Bowl

1. Mash the chickpeas: In a medium bowl, lightly mash chickpeas with a fork, leaving some whole for texture.
2. Cook the veggies: Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms for 5 minutes.
3. Add chickpeas: Stir mashed chickpeas into the skillet, along with turmeric, garlic powder, kala namak, salt, and pepper.
4. Finish with greens: Add spinach and cherry tomatoes. Cook until spinach wilts and everything is heated through, about 2 minutes.
5. Assemble: Spoon scramble over cooked quinoa or rice. Top with avocado and hot sauce or salsa.

Sweet Potato & Black Bean Scramble Bowl

1. Cook sweet potatoes: Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet. Add diced sweet potatoes and a pinch of salt. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and golden.
2. Add aromatics: Stir in onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms. Cook for 4-5 minutes, until softened.
3. Add beans and seasonings: Mix in black beans, turmeric, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2 minutes.
4. Finish with greens & tomatoes: Add spinach and cherry tomatoes, cooking until just wilted.
5. Assemble: Scoop the scramble over a bed of quinoa or rice. Garnish with avocado and salsa if desired.

Tip: For a cheesy flavor, sprinkle 1-2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast into any scramble!

Tips & Variations

• Make it spicy: Add diced jalapeño or a pinch of cayenne to the skillet for extra heat.
• Switch up the greens: Use kale, arugula, or Swiss chard instead of spinach for a different flavor and texture.
• Try different grains: Substitute cooked farro, millet, or cauliflower rice for the quinoa or brown rice.
• Use leftovers: These scrambles are perfect for using up leftover roasted veggies or grains.
• Prep ahead: You can chop veggies and cook grains in advance for ultra-quick assembly in the morning.
• High-protein boost: Add a handful of shelled edamame or crumble in some tempeh for even more protein.
• For a Southwestern twist: Use cumin, smoked paprika, and top with corn and fresh cilantro.

“Don’t be afraid to make these bowls your own—almost any veggie or bean will work in a breakfast scramble!”
