Instructions
For the breakfast bowl:
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high and add oil once skillet is hot.
- When oil is heated, add diced hash browns, onion powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, chili powder, and salt and pepper.
- Stir until spices are coated evenly over potatoes, then cook until potatoes turn golden brown, approximately 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent any burning.
- While the potatoes cook, dice the pepper, red onion, mushrooms and tomato, and mince the garlic.
- When potatoes are golden but still firm, turn heat down to medium and add peppers, onion, mushrooms to the skillet.
- Mix ingredients until combined evenly, and cook until onions are translucent, mushrooms have softened, and hash browns are just fork tender, approximately 3—5 minutes.
- Combine tomatoes and garlic in pan, cook for another 2 minutes until garlic is fragrant and tomatoes have just softened.
- Take skillet off the heat and set aside.
For the tofu scramble:
- In a separate small frying pan, heat oil over medium heat.
- Once the oil is ready, crush tofu in pan, leaving bigger clumps as desired.
- Add onion powder, garlic powder, turmeric, smoked paprika, salt and pepper, and combine until tofu is evenly coated.
- Cook until tofu turns golden brown, approximately 4—5 minutes
- Serve on your breakfast bowl!
