Ingredients
- 4 cups frozen hash browns, thawed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (plus more for brushing)
- 1 block (14 oz) firm tofu, drained
- 1/2 cup unsweetened plant milk (almond or soy)
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kala namak (black salt) or regular salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 cup mixed bell peppers, chopped
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a casserole dish with olive oil. Spread thawed hash browns evenly in the dish, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 25 minutes until golden.
- Blend tofu, plant milk, nutritional yeast, turmeric, garlic powder, onion powder, kala namak, and pepper until smooth and pourable. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- In a skillet, sauté bell peppers and green onions in olive oil for 3–4 minutes. Add spinach and cook until wilted.
- Layer sautéed veggies over baked hash browns. Pour tofu mixture evenly on top and smooth out the surface.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes until set and slightly golden. Cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- Garnish with fresh parsley, green onions, smoked paprika, or hot sauce.
- Serve with fruit salad, avocado slices, or vegan biscuits.
- Cut into rounds or bake in ramekins for creative presentation.
- Store in fridge for up to 4 days or freeze individual slices for 2 months.
- Reheat in microwave or oven at 350°F; broil briefly for a crispy top.
- Use fresh shredded potatoes if preferred—just squeeze out moisture first.
- Sub chickpea flour or egg replacer for soy-free version.
- Add mushrooms, zucchini, sun-dried tomatoes, or vegan sausage.
- Filling should be puffed and firm; a knife inserted should come out mostly clean.
- Ensure ingredients are gluten-free for a fully gluten-free dish.
