Notes

  • Avoid silken tofu for this recipe and instead use firm tofu or extra-firm tofu for the best texture.
  • Serve tofu scramble with low-carb vegetables, such as zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice.
  • Add nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor and extra protein.
  • Olive oil can replace coconut oil if desired.
  • Include hot sauce, garlic powder, or crushed red pepper flakes for added heat.
  • Serve with keto bread or on a bed of greens for a wholesome, nutritious meal. 
  • Adding garlic, cumin, and smoked paprika can make a basic tofu scramble more delicious.
