Instructions
  1. Lay folded kitchen towel on cutting board, place tofu on top, and drape end of kitchen towel over top of tofu. Press tofu, to remove excess water, by placing cast iron pan or other heavy object on top. After 15 minutes, pat tofu dry and, using clean hands, break into crumbles the size of large breadcrumbs. Set aside.
  2. Set out a small- and a medium-sized bowl and add 3/4 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp hot paprika, 1/4 tsp sweet paprika, and 1/4 tsp salt to each one. Stir well to combine.
  3. To small bowl containing garlic-paprika mixture, add mustard powder, ground turmeric, red pepper flakes, nutritional yeast, tahini, and oat milk. Whisk together to make a creamy sauce. Set aside.
  4. To medium bowl containing garlic-paprika mixture, add sweet potatoes and 1 Tbsp olive oil, stirring well to coat with spice mixture.
  5. Heat large nonstick pan on medium-high heat and add sweet potatoes. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes until soft and beginning to brown. Remove to plate and set aside.
  6. Add remaining 1 Tbsp olive oil to pan and heat on medium-high. Add tofu and cook until light golden brown on both sides, stirring gently, being careful not to break up tofu too much. Once tofu is light golden brown, add sauce, and stir gently to coat. Add green onion and spinach, then re-introduce sweet potatoes, stirring to combine for a few minutes, until spinach begins to wilt. Serve immediately with whole grain toast or flour tortillas.
