Servings: 2 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 block firm tofu drained and pressed
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp Indian black salt (Kala Namak)
  • 1/4 cup liquid from a can of cooked chickpeas (aquafaba)
  • Avocado oil cooking spray optional
  • 1 tbsp avocado or olive oil
  • 1/2 yellow onion sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 bell pepper sliced
  • 1 roma tomato tomato diced (or any type, about 1/2 cup diced)
  • 1 zucchini diced
  • 1/2 tsp salt + more to taste
  • 2 handfuls raw or frozen spinach

Instructions

  • Begin by draining the firm tofu and pressing it to remove excess moisture. Crumble the tofu into a mixing bowl and add the nutritional yeast, turmeric powder, Indian black salt (Kala Namak), and chickpea liquid. Mix well until the tofu is well coated and resembles a thick batter.
  • In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add the avocado or olive oil. Once heated, add the sliced yellow onion and sauté until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  • Next, add the sliced bell pepper, diced zucchini, and diced tomato to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are tender. If using frozen spinach, add it now and cook until it’s heated through.
  • Pour the tofu mixture over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Gently spread it out evenly, allowing it to cook without stirring for about 5-7 minutes on medium heat. You want the bottom to set and become slightly golden.
  • Carefully flip the omelette using a spatula or by inverting it onto a plate and sliding it back into the skillet. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the other side is golden and firm.
  • Once cooked, slide your Light & Fluffy Vegan Omelette onto a plate. Serve it warm, garnished with fresh herbs or avocado slices if desired.
