Tofu scramble is so much easier to make on a sheet pan in the oven instead of a skillet on a stove. Especially if you cook with out oil. This tofu scramble is so flavorful, easy to make and uses simple ingredients. Firm tofu, red bell pepper, jalapeno, green onions, black beans and some delicious seasonings turn this into an amazing entree. It is so versatile and can be enjoyed for breakast lunch or dinner. Feel free to customize to your liking and to change up some of the ingredients depending on what you have on hand. It will be one of your go to recipes.
It gets that lovely yellow color from ground turmeric and truly looks like a breakfast scramble. You can change the beans and use garbanzo beans if you wish or leave them out all together. I like to add a little red bell pepper and green onions but you could use red onions and mushrooms instead. Recipes are just ideas and you can feel free to play with the ingredients and transform it into something that is perfect for you.
As you can see it makes a large amount which is perfect for batch cooking or feeding a crowd. I first learned about sheet pan tofu scramble from our friends Reeb’s and Dillon, from Well Your World. This is my twist on their fabulous idea.
Tofu scramble makes a wonderful addition to Brunch. Serve it with Sheet Pan Breakfast Potatoes, Blender Waffles (recipe coming on Friday) with a Blueberry Sauce, Breakfast Sausages and fresh fruit.
You can serve it many different ways. If I batch prep it for the week I like to heat it up or serve it cold over a chopped salad. Use my Vegan Ranch Dressing on the greens or your favorite flavored vinegar. It is such a treat to eat it like this!
The guys in my family like it as a breakfast burrito all wrapped up in a warm torilla. Add some salsa, a few slices of avocado and some sprouts or microgreens. It can become breakfast, lunch or dinner tacos with soft corn tortillas, drizzle with a little Chipotle Nacho Cheese Sauce or a store bought or Homemade Salsa.
I look forward to hearing how you decide to enjoy this Sheet Pan Tofu Scramble. Let me know in the comments.

I love sheet pan tofu scramble and kind of just add whatever I have on hand in mine. I LOVE that you have listed Black Beans as an ingredient in yours! I would have never thought of adding beans and I will definitely use this recipe next time I make it.
Marsha Peters
What an easy way to do a tofu scramble! It turned out great! I added mushrooms, used a combo of black and red beans, and threw in some steamed asparagus after it was done. I, too, would never have thought of adding beans, but this just amps up the fiber and nutrition. Thanks, Tammy!
Nicola
Very easy and tasty. Used extra firm tofu as that’s what I had and added mushrooms. Need a bit more tumeric next time to get the color right but loved the recipe as is.
Jeanne
This is so delicious and easy, definitely a keeper on my meal rotation
Scott Hamrick
I love this recipe! My wife and I have recently started eating vegan and wf-pb more in an effort to get healthy. I love using tofu to mimic scrambled eggs. I’m going to make this and make ahead breakfast burritos for the week. So much healthier, cheaper, and tastier than anything I can get at the drive thru! Thank you for the great recipes.
Tami Kramer
That is awesome Scott! Welcome to the wonderful world of plants
Maureen
This was so easy and delicious. We finished it tonight and I said we need more ASAP.
Tami Kramer
I’m so glad you like it!
Jan Burrell
Can you freeze this recipe? It makes so much I couldn’t eat it all in a week .
Tami Kramer
I have not tried freezing. Freezing does change the texture of tofu but the only way to know is to try it! If you do try freezing it please let me know how it turned out.
