INGREDIENTS for the Berta Jay's
Ground TOFU
--------------------------------------------------------- PREHEAT OVEN to 375°F
1. Drain (but not completely) 1 block of Extra Firm TOFU (I use my hands to squeeze out the water)
2. Tear tofu into pieces with your hands into a bowl and SET ASIDE.
3. Add the following ingredients into a small bowl:
a. 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
b. 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder (I used granulated garlic)
c. 3/4 teaspoon onion powder (I used granulated onion)
d. ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
e. 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
f. ½ teaspoon salt (I used Himalayan)
g. 3/4 teaspoon smokey paprika
h. 1½ teaspoons parsley flakes
i. ½ teaspoon dried basil
4. Stir these ingredients together very well.
5. Sprinkle this spicy mix over the set-aside tofu.
6. With clean hands, "squeeze and mix" the spicy mix into the tofu until this mixture looks crumbly.
7. Spread this spicy mix onto a parchment-lined baking pan. Be sure to spread in a thin layer with any mounds or clumps of tofu.
8. Place baking pan into the preheated oven. Bake for 25 minutes for a soft and chewy texture - OR - 30-35 minutes if you prefer a harder, crunchy texture. Stir at half-time and place tofu back in the oven to complete the baking.
9. That's it...ENJOY!

Hi there, best channel i have come across, just starting on my plant based venture at 68. Fab ideas, so looking forward to more. ( binge watching first), regards from the UK 🇬🇧
Hello to you, Margaret. 68 is 2 years younger than I am. You will reap many rewards for making the change; please stick with it and don't give it...it's worth the work and time you put in. I appreciate your comment 👍🏾
What a clever idea
Oh, Virginia, this one is delicious and yes, clever. Thanks so much for your comment. Hope you give this recipe a try. 😊
Hello from Ireland. Just found your salad videos, always so happy to get new salad ideas. I love Tofu so I'm delighted to get a different recipe for using it. Thank you
Hello, dear Trouper from Ireland 🇮🇪! So glad you found me. 😀If you love tofu, Rosemary, I really believe you will thoroughly enjoy this little recipe. It is so good. I have made it a few times. My only problem is I eat it t🇮🇪oo fast because I'm always finding something on/in which to use it. It is a versatile food. Let me know what you think after you make it. I'd love to hear what you think. 😊
Yum! And using garbanzo for a replacement for tofu is a great idea! I bet that would be great too! Thank you Berta for the inspiration! ❤️
@Suchef. It is; they come out nicer& crunchy; you can even snack on them. Rainbow Plant Life has the recipe on her channel.
I figured chickpeas would work because I have a spicy chickpea snack video:
ua-cam.com/video/aunkpHU1Cs4/v-deo.html
Not sure if you've seen it or remember it because I did it 3 years ago as well on a recent Live Show.
Anyway, I think it will taste great with that substitution. Let me know...okay? I'd love to hear about it. 😊
@@bertajay Good to know. The 1st time you did it was before I discovered you & the 2nd time was when my email had changed & I lost all my notifications. Ugh. Ty so much for the link.🤗
I like that idea too. I crushed a cup of walnuts (soaked for few hours to clean it first and make it softer) and added it to the mixture. Extra omega
Omg.. just came across your video. And I love how you speak and explain. Just so easy to follow and natural. Thank you 😚
So clever...I have all the ingredients and an abundance of fresh vegetables gifted me for my 78th birthday on Saturday...I'll go with making a flat bread... thanks for the great receipt Berta
You are so welcome, dear sister! This one I know you'll enjoy. Let me know when you try it. 😀
Hi Ms Berta!! I've never tried tofu this way but didn't hesitate to try it after watching your video! The toasted tofu crumbles are delicious! I did something a little different for making tacos mainly because all I had on hand was the corn tortillas. I reheated the crumbles in some homemade tomato-based salsa & added some additional spices like smoked paprika, both chile and ancho chili powders along with a pinch of oregano and a little fresh jalapeno for just a little heat.. The toasted tofu crumbles absorbed both the liquid and the flavors. I used that mixture as a replacement for the ground beef in the tacos and built them by adding shredded cheese, chopped lettuce, sliced avocado, topped with a little more salsa and a squeeze or two of lime juice!.The toasted tofu tacos were delicious! They were such a hit with my crew, I'm experimenting with using the toasted tofu crumbles as a meat replacement the next time I make sloppy joes. Thanks for another video, Ms Berta and for sharing another delicious "recipe"!
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE what you did with the ground tofu! I so enjoy hearing what you Troupers do with my recipes. It so blesses my heart.
ALL OF YOUR IDEAS ARE SUPERB!! 👍🏾 Just want you to know I don't throw the word "LOVE" around haphazardly 😊. I want to try sloppy joe too. You like more heat than this mouth of mine can handle😄 but what you did sounds really good! Thanks so much, Pat, for sharing. You are a gem!💎
@@bertajay Thank you, Ms Berta! I always appreciate your comments, too! They make my day! Sending a big cyber-hug your way!! By the way, I didn't add very much jalapeno to the tacos; we don't like a LOT of heat either but did add just a "smidge" to add flavor without a lot of heat! LOL
Berta Jay, I went vegan a couple of years ago & have been trying to learn to cook tofu. I have had more fails than wins, but I tried this today & its definitely a big win! And so easy!
Thanks, ❤
Now, I must tell you that your words have brought JOY to my heart. Knowing that I have been a help to me makes me smile and even chuckle a bit. You're so welcome, Susan. Keep trying new recipes and before you know it you'll have your own repertoire of good ones. 😊
Just made this for dinner and it is amazing!! Thank you so much!!
You're welcome, Melissa. I know your dinner was so good😊 Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, another great recipe for my air fryer 👍🏽!
Give it a try and report back to me how it works out. I love trying new techniques and hearing from my Troupers how they use different techniques. Thanks for your comments, Christian. Have a calm and peaceful day! 😊
Quite creative my friend!! I love those tiny bowls you use for spices! ....never had tofu, may have to try this...eek😲
Thanks so much. I am honestly not sure where I found them. They are quite old 🤭...like me.❤
Thank you a lot ! I will try your recipe in the nearest time
Please try this recipe. I believe that you'll like it. Let me know. Thanks for your comment. 😊
Turned out great! Thank you 🙏🙏
I am so glad to hear that, Reno! Great results are always music to my ears👍🏽😊
Hey hey Berta Jay I really liked this recipe today!!!!!😊❤️🙏 I am going to try it with garbanzo beans! Thank you again for another great video and I hope you have a blessed week🙏🙏🙏🙏
You are too cute, Tiffany, with your rhyming. 😄
I really do believe this would work with chickpeas. Give it a try and do let me and the other Troupers know how it works out. Thanks so much for keeping me laughing and being a Berta Jay Trouper. 😊
Looks deeeelish! And healthy!
Thanks for another great recipe, Berta!
This is so delish, Susan. Hope you have had a chance to make this ground tofu.
You're welcome...I love sharing with you what I eat. Have a calm and peaceful day, Susan 😊
Looks delicious 😋. Your hair is gorgeous 😍
Thank you for the compliment.
This is quite delicious. Hope you'll give it a try. Thanks for your comments.
This is my new favorite Berta Jay recipe.
I made it the day you posted the video. Next time I quadrupled the recipe & put it away in storage. I made it twice since then & it was so time-saving to have the spice
mixture already on hand!
You have surely made my day, Susan. I, too, enjoy this recipe immensely. It is so versatile. So glad you shared what you did. I am so happy about that.
Keep enjoying this one...just like me
👍🏽🥰
Got this in the oven now!! I know from the smell of the seasoning it's gonna be delicious 😋 yum!!
Oh my goodness, Charlene. You will be amazed by the taste and I hope you'll make it often...I try to. Thanks so much for your support and kind words of encouragement. 😊
WARNING! WARNING ⚠️ Don't do it!! It's hard to back away from once you taste it!! Ok, I'm gonna bowl mine and put it out of site till dinner!! #nocontrol
@@charlenesmith209 l surely know what you are talking about. I have eaten it cold the next day. Just put it somewhere you can't see it. 😄 Thanks Charlene for the warning 😊
@@bertajay leftovers are in the fridge till tomorrow! It was hard putting the away, can't wait till tomorrow!
I can eat the whole block by myself!! Yum!
It's really that good. But, Charlene, I want you to practice a wee bit of self-control, okay? 🤭
@@bertajay yes ma'am, i will, but it's sometimes hard with tofu..I have cut back on it a great deal because I like it so much!! I just found a recipe on the website Tasty that calls for you to dredge the tofu in vegan mayonnaise and then some bread crumbs with other seasonings in it and bake it...oh my word!!!! Talk about delicious!!! and it's good on salad as well..taste better than chicken!!
@@charlenesmith3773 okey dokey...I'm in the same boat as you are...so, I need to follow Miss Berta's advice on self-control. I got hooked on a crunchy tofu recipe....so....again...self-control is something I need to practice!
Thanks Must try,Thanks for sharing 😊❤🎉
These are tasty...I do hope you'll give them a try. ☺
thank you so much, Berta Jay!!!! just made the ground tofu today and used with my pasta sauce over spaghetti squash and was absolutely delish. the texture is perfect; it perfectly chews just like beef. I have always been intimidated with plain tofu, but this seemed, AND IS, so easy. once more you have helped me overcome my lack of confidence. look out sloppy joes, chili and more!
Whatchu sayin', Tater? I am so excited for you!
Honestly, for a long time l didn't know what to do with tofu. I started just experimenting with it trying to create a recipe l really liked. I have another tofu recipe on my channel, but, this one has easily grown to be one of my favorites. Let me know how your sloppy joe and chili turn out for you. Sounds like you found the right tofu recipe for you! 😊 This is so exciting, Tator! 🤸🏾♀️😁
This looks great! I’m going to use this for tacos ASAP 🌮
And can’t wait for the cheese recipe 🧀
This is so simple and tasty. I know you'll like it on your tacos. Let me know what you think. Thanks for your comment. I really appreciate it. 😊
Thanks for the video
Hey 👋🏻 Miss Berta ❤️ This recipe is awesome!! It can be used in soooo many ways! Thank you for sharing 😁
You're so welcome, Lula. I have been using it so much besides just taking a spoonful and eating it 🤭. Tell me about your experience when you get a chance to make it. I'd love to hear how it turns out!
a must try
I am telling you, Norma, "This is really good. You have gotta try it!" 🤭
I watch Simnett Nutrition but must say I love your simple style & make everything your own. Yum. Love you Berta Jay!! PS I like to warm my tortilla wrap briefly on a medium-low temp on each side before adding ingredients. Just a thought.
Thank you so much, Marirose for the encouragement. I do like to make recipes I see my own. I appreciate that you noticed 😉
This is so scrumptious. I did warm the tortilla before I used it; I just did it off camera. I, also, find it easier to fold when I do that. Thanks for the tip, Marirose...nice to know we think similarly 😊
@@bertajay Love you, Lady!!💙💫🌀
@@marirose19 And the same back you, Marirose!🥰
I was wondering if you have a substitute suggestion for the yeast. I have gout issues so yeast does not work well for me. Your videos are great!!!!👍
That looks delicious Mrs. Berta I will definitely try this! 😃
Do for sure, LEGAL! I know you'll be so glad you tried this one! I have enjoyed reading all of your comments. You are so kind. Have a wonderful and peace-filled day. 😊
Yum!!!
Perfect description for this one, Katelyn. Thanks for your comment. Let me know what you think after trying it. 😊
Great idea to also use garbanzo beans!! Your videos always brighten my day!!!!❤️🥰😎
I am so glad to have a Trouper like in my Troup, Savannah. I look forward to hear what you will say. Let me know if you try this recipe with chickpeas. I'd like to know how it turns out. Thanks so much and have a bright and calm day, dear one. 😎🥰
Hey, girl...been trying to reach you. Let me know how you and your fam are doing when you get the chance. I know you stay busy. 😎 ❤
@@bertajay hey Berta, I’m still here. I sent you an email and then resent it. Did you not get it? I wonder if my new email address is getting sent to spam? Love you😎❤️
Did you use Firm or Extra Firm Tofu? I like it savory...so inspiration for tonight's dinner! I've got both firm and extra firm in the fridge now.
I used Extra Firm. Keep this in mind, Virginia...if I don't tell you something you have a question about, always check the description box below the video because I usually put any missing information there...just like I forgot the oven temperature for baking 🤭
@@bertajay Will do!!! TY again for a great recipe!!
Hey hey hey! Berta Jay. 😁. This looks great. There’s a shortage of decent tofu recipes. Greetings from rainy Manchester in England. Is there anything I can substitute the nutritional yeast with? I have terrible stomach cramps with nutritional yeast.
I don't know of a substitute for nutritional yeast. I am sorry. ursaltydog found a substitute for it. Check with him to see if you can get it. Thanks. 😊 So wonderful for to know that I am seen in Manchester. 👍🏾
Is there a substitute for the nutritional yeast? This is a great recipe and I'm hoping to use it in my egg roll in a bowl... Edit: Found a decent substitute for it.. :)
Good to hear, ursaltydog. Always good to find a good substitute for ingredients so you make a recipe just the way you like it. Thanks for sharing. 😊
@@bertajay Yeah..these days post covid infection early on, I'm having a fight with all my organs, since they almost failed two years ago after covid. So, low fats, meats but not meats, veggies but not some veggies, fruits but not some fruits, some grains but not really those grains, adding stuff into my diet that is now on the food apocalypse list.... It's tiresome Berta.. I'm about to just hang it all up and return to my old diet. It's getting expensive, and not sure I care sometimes.. ya know?
I can’t to try it.
Sorry Berta, I meant to say, I can’t wait to try it.
@@carolyngriffin5008 😆 oh dear, Carolyn...I knew exactly what you meant. You are so cute. This recipe is a winner. I think you'll enjoy it. Have a peace-filled and calm day 😊
🥰🥰🥰
I believe you'll like this one, Mgo. Where are you from, if you don't mind me asking? Thanks for your comment.🥰
How nice of to ask, Berta Jay, I'm from Amsterdam, Holland and I've been plantbased for about 7 years now. Your video's mean a lot!!
Have you tried Pumfu yet!? I havent, i have to visit Whole Foods to see if they have it.
I have never heard of it, Charlene. What is it?
PUMFU is made with pumpkin seeds instead of soy like Tofu.
I wonder if the same spice/herb combo would work with TVP and water.
Try it Rhea and see what happens. That's how l develop some of my recipes my just experimenting. Give it a try. 😊
Hi Berta, that taco looks delicious! That was vegan cheese, right?
It is definitely! I will be sharing it in an upcoming video. I like it; perhaps, you will also. 🤭
Hard sliceable cheese??? Let me know.
That recipe is coming soon, dear Lula. It's easy. I hope you'll like it. Have a green day in Green 🤭
