What’s In This Gluten Free & Vegan Za’atar Tofu Scramble Recipe?
- Za’atar: a fantastic Middle Eastern spice blend of garlic, lemon, sumac, and sesame. It has a deep citrusy flavor, with a slightly herbal finish. Similar to oregano, this za’atar spice blend has a bright and bold flavor – absolutely perfect for this tofu shawarma. If you’re looking for an exotic new spice to add to your cabinet, I can’t recommend this za’atar enough!
- Shelf Stable Tofu – I have been LOVING these shelf-stable tofu packs from Amazon. I literally have 3 cases of them in my pantry as we speak. They are an inexpensive and healthy way to get some plant protein in. The texture of this extra firm tofu is perfect for this recipe, no pressing required!
- Olive Oil: I like to use this fruity Zoe olive oil which has a fantastic flavor and deep color- it’s really inexpensive online here, so I keep a few liters stocked up in my pantry. For the quality of oil you get, it’s an excellent value, I would highly recommend!
- Turmeric – a staple in our spice cabinet! Aside from all the wonderful health benefits of turmeric (hello anti-inflammation!), the flavor is fantastic. I try to add a teaspoon of turmeric into soups, stews, and rice dishes too.
- Garlic Powder: Also a major pantry staple ingredient that gets used in our house daily! I love this garlic powder and add it to a lot of recipes that I would use fresh garlic in too.
- Chili Powder: for a really nice flavor in this scramble- the chili powder isn’t spicy but will give you a rich and bright flavor.
- Salt and Pepper to Taste
- Veggie Toppings of Choice! I used kale and avocado for this recipe. I get all the fresh produce for my recipes from my garden and from Misfits Market – they sell all organic produce at a super discounted price, and it’s purchased direct from the farmers. We get Misfit Market boxes every other week and love picking out our favorite seasonal produce for delivery. You can get $10 off your first $30 box by clicking here!

Make Tofu Scramble Vegan for a Healthy Version
This vegan breakfast scramble with silken tofu is a simple way to get extra veggies in your diet. I’m all about making recipes plant-based when I can. Vegan cooking does NOT have to be bland, boring, or flavorless… It’s quite the opposite when done right. By building meals around vegan pantry staples and swapping in a few plant-based ingredients you can make healthier meals for you and your family. I made a list of my 125 favorite vegan pantry ingredients that we use on a weekly basis, and check out all my vegan recipes here that are on The Herbeevore. These easy and healthy recipes are fantastic meatless and dairy free meals for your table.
