35 Healthy Tofu Recipes That Even Meat Lovers Will Crave
Perfect when you need an easy vegetarian or vegan meal.
Whether you're a vegetarian 100% of the time or just need some inspiration for meatless Mondays, tofu deserves a spot in your kitchen. This versatile protein can be used in a ton of different dishes, from stir-fries to hearty sandwiches to healthy salads and more. We've rounded up plenty of easy tofu recipes for you to try now.
As you might know, tofu is typically available to buy in firmness levels ranging from silken to super-firm. When you add it to your grocery list, be sure to know which firmness level your recipe calls for. Different textures work for different dishes and cooking techniques. But whether you're throwing it on the grill for a vegetarian BBQ side dish or including it in an air fryer recipe for an easy weeknight dinner, it's sure to be delicious.
Another reason to give tofu a shot is the price. It's a great way to stretch your grocery budget since it tends to be inexpensive, particularly when compared to certain cuts of meat. The soybean product is also a good source of iron and protein, which is part of why it's a common part of vegetarian dishes and vegan recipes. That said, we have a feeling that even the meat-eaters in your family will be won over with these delicious recipes.
Here are 35 easy tofu recipes to add to your rotation.
