You only need 5 ingredients for these crumbles and they’re so easy to make. If you’ve got some tofu in the fridge, skip the store-bought and make these for way cheaper instead!

I love adding these crumbles to:

a big pile of nachos,

tacos and enchiladas,

spaghetti or bolognese

a hearty bowl of chili

You name it!

Ingredients:

• 1 14 oz block extra firm tofu
• 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
• 3 to 4 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 tsp liquid smoke

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350F.
2. To a medium sized bowl, add the nutritional yeast, soy sauce, olive oil, and liquid smoke. Whisk together.
3. Crumble the tofu into small pieces and stir it into the liquid mixture.
4. Spread the crumbles out on a parchment-lined baking sheet in an even layer and pop that tray in the oven.
5. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. (I usually will first stir it after about 20 minutes, and then every 5 to 10 minutes until it becomes nice and brown and crispy.)
6. Go forth and use the baked crumbles however you desire!
