Satisfying Crumbled Tofu Breakfast Skillet (low FODMAP!)
Craving brunch at home? This flavourful and comforting tofu breakfast skillet delivers plenty of protein and comes together in just 30 minutes! It’s even low FODMAP for fussy tummies.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil divided
- 12 ounce package extra firm tofu patted dry
- 1 large Yukon Gold Potato ½ inch cubed, about 1 ½ cups
- ½ cup water
- ½ teaspoon salt plus more for seasoning
- freshly cracked pepper
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
- ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
- ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
- 4 packed cups baby spinach
- 4 green onions dark green tops only, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons tamari or soy sauce gluten free if needed!
Instructions
- Slice the tofu in half through the middle so you have two equal blocks. Then slice each of those blocks horizontally so you end up with 4 equal squares.
- Heat a tablespoon of oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place tofu in the skillet, sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook until browned and crisp on the bottom, about 3-5 minutes. Flip, salt and pepper and cook until the other side is browned, another 3-4 minutes. Remove tofu to a plate and set aside.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet along with the potatoes and water. Cover with a lid, slightly ajar, and cook until potatoes begin to soften, about 5-8 minutes. Turn heat down slightly if bubbling too furiously, add extra water as needed!
- Remove lid, sprinkle over ½ teaspoon of salt, some pepper, paprika, cumin, turmeric and thyme and cook until fork tender, stirring often, about 2-3 minutes more. The larger the potato, the longer it needs.
- Add the baby spinach and green onion to the skillet. Crumble in the cooked tofu and pour in the tamari. Cook 1-2 minutes until tofu heated through and spinach is wilted.

Notes
If you’re on a strict low FODMAP diet at the moment, a couple of things you should know:
170g of firm tofu is considered low FODMAP…175g is already a little higher in fructans. I’m using extra firm here, which has less water, so be sure to check the package size and if it’s any larger than 340g, definitely slice some off before cooking to make sure you’re not using too much!
Everything else in the recipe is strictly a low FODMAP food…and if you want a little garlic flavour, you can use a low FODMAP garlic flavoured oil OR a pinch of granulated low FODMAP garlic flavoured seasoning.
