Why It Works
  • Crumbling the tofu helps to increase its surface area, which allows it to brown more evenly and develop a more flavorful crust.
  • Sautéing the vegetables until they are softened helps to release their natural sugars, which adds sweetness to the dish.
  • Adding nutritional yeast to the dish provides a nutty, cheesy flavor that complements the tofu and vegetables.
  • The salt and black pepper help to enhance the flavors of the other ingredients and add a touch of spice.
