Tofu & Veggie Frittata
Prep & Cooking Time:
-
Prep: 15 min
-
Baking: 35–40 min
-
Total: ~55–60 min
Ingredients:
Frittata base:
-
400 g firm tofu, drained and pressed
-
3 tbsp corn flour (cornstarch)
-
1 tbsp nutritional yeast (optional)
-
1–2 tbsp unsweetened plant milk
-
1 tsp turmeric
-
1 tsp garlic powder
-
1/2 tsp onion powder
-
Salt (in this case, it's better to use Kala Namak) and pepper to taste
Veggie topping:
-
100 g tomatoes
-
100 g zucchini, thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced into rings
-
100 g eggplant, thinly sliced
-
Fresh herbs (optional: basil, parsley, chives)
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven:
-
Preheat to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking dish with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the frittata mixture:
-
Crumble tofu into a bowl until smooth-ish.
-
Add corn flour, nutritional yeast, plant milk, turmeric, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until thick but pourable.
3. Assemble:
-
Pour the tofu mixture into the prepared dish. Smooth the top.
-
Arrange the tomatoes, zucchini, bell pepper and eggplant slices in an overlapping pattern on top, like a colorful mosaic. Sprinkle herbs if using.
4. Bake:
-
Bake for 35–40 minutes until the frittata is firm and lightly golden on top.
5. Serve:
-
Let cool 5–10 min before slicing into wedges or bars. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes:
-
You can swap in any thinly sliced vegetables you like — mushrooms or spinach work well.
-
The tofu-corn base is naturally oil-free, so use a non-stick or parchment-lined dish for best results.
-
For meal prep, slice the bars into individual portions and store them in the fridge for up to 4 days.
