When prepared correctly, tofu can be a delicious dinner option to pair alongside your favorite sides. Aside from being a good source of protein, it’s also a good source of calcium and iron.

Tofu is super versatile since it takes on any flavor you add to it, and is an affordable option to add to your weekly grocery list. It tastes delicious in tacos, baked as nuggets, or stir-fried with your favorite veggies.

I’m rounding up 6 of my favorite healthy tofu recipes from the blog for a delicious way to incorporate more plant-based foods into your diet!

PRO TIP: for the following recipes, I always opt for extra-firm tofu for best results!

1. Crumbled Tofu Tacos with Kale Slaw

These delicious Crumbled Tofu Tacos are easy to make and so flavorful! They’re paired with a simple kale slaw to add a little fiber and greens to the meal, and can be served in a taco shell or crumbled into a grain bowl.

2. Cashew Tofu Stir-fry

This delicious Cashew Tofu Stir-fry is the perfect way to incorporate more plant-based protein into your week! It’s cooked in a sweet stir-fry sauce and filled with crispy tofu, stir-fry veggies and crunchy roasted cashews. It’s a great way to clean out the fridge, and is loaded with feel good ingredients.
