Ingredients

  • 1 large (approx. 350-400g) sweet potato
  • 1 tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 2 small ripe avocados
  • 300 g firm tofu, pressed to remove excess water
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1 tbsp chickpea flour
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp black salt (kala namak)
  • 150 ml unsweetened oat milk
  • For garnish Red pepper flakes or fresh cilantro (optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Wash and slice the sweet potato into 1-1.5 cm (about ½ inch) thick rounds. You should get about 6-8 rounds.

  2. 2

    In a bowl, toss the sweet potato slices with ½ tbsp of olive oil until lightly coated. Arrange them in a single layer in your air fryer basket.

  3. 3

    Air fry at 200°C (400°F) for 14-17 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through, until they are tender on the inside and slightly crispy on the edges. (See notes for oven instructions).

  4. 4

    While the sweet potatoes are cooking, prepare the tofu scramble. Crumble the pressed tofu into a bowl using your hands to create a scrambled texture.

  5. 5

    In a separate small bowl, whisk together the oat milk, garlic powder, nutritional yeast, chickpea flour, turmeric, black pepper, and black salt until no lumps remain. This is your scramble sauce.

  6. 6

    Heat the remaining ½ tbsp of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the crumbled tofu and fry for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it's lightly browned and slightly firm.

  7. 7

    Pour the scramble sauce over the tofu in the skillet. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, for another 3-5 minutes until the sauce has thickened and beautifully coats the tofu.

  8. 8

    As the tofu cooks, mash the flesh of the two small avocados in a bowl. You can season it with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired.

  9. 9

    To assemble, divide the sweet potato toasts between two plates. Spread a layer of mashed avocado on each toast, then top generously with the warm tofu scramble. Garnish with red pepper flakes or fresh cilantro if using, and serve immediately.

Chef's notes

* **Oven Method:** If you don't have an air fryer, preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Place the oiled sweet potato slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender and lightly browned. * **Pressing Tofu:** Don't skip pressing the tofu! Removing the excess water is key to achieving a firm, scramble-like texture rather than a mushy one. * **Black Salt:** Black salt (kala namak) gives the tofu scramble a convincingly 'eggy' flavor. If you can't find it, you can use regular sea salt, but the flavor profile will be different.
