Vegan Taco Tofu Crumbles (Easy!)

Made with just 6 ingredients and minimal hands-on-time, these salty and flavorful Vegan Taco Tofu Crumbles make for the perfect filling for plant-based tacos, burritos and buddha bowls!

📝 Ingredients

• 2 blocks extra firm tofu
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/4 cup less-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon ground cumin
• 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Drain the two blocks of tofu and place them inside of a tofu press for about 15 minutes. If you don't have a tofu press you can wrap the tofu in dish clothes and carefully place heavy books on top of them to help express some of the extra liquid.
2. 2While the tofu is pressing, preheat your oven to 400 °F and grease a baking sheet with cooking spray.
3. 3Prepare the tofu marinade by whisking together the remaining ingredients in a mixing bowl. Don't add the optional salt until later, if needed.
4. 4Once your tofu has been pressed, use your hands to crumble it into the marinade. Stir everything well to combine, breaking up any large piece of tofu as you go.
5. 5Pour the tofu crumbles onto the greased baking sheet and spread it out into a single layer. Bake the tofu for about 30-40 minutes, stirring halfway through, until browned and slightly crispy in parts.
6. 6Serve warm with all your favorite taco fixings!
