Instructions
- Prepare Tofu Scramble: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and bell pepper, cooking until softened. Stir in crumbled tofu and cook briefly. Season with turmeric, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and nutritional yeast if using. Cook until heated through and slightly golden.
