These Tofu Scramble Stuffed Peppers are a unique twist on the traditional tofu scramble. They are loaded with Italian flavors and can be served for dinner.
I recently got four green peppers that needed to be eaten ASAP, so I knew they would have to be the star of a meal. Looking into my pantry, and knowing I didn’t have a grain to add to the peppers, I decided to make Tofu Scramble Stuffed Peppers.
Just like tofu scramble, whether it be in a burrito or other form, it is customizable. You can include all your favorite herbs, spices, and veggies.
I just happen to include things that I had in my kitchen and pantry. I added tomato sauce, basil, oregano, and vegan mozzarella to these peppers to give an Italian flair.
Last year, I was given some beautiful plates and bowls as a gift. They all have different color combinations.
It is funny because at the time of receiving them, I had just finished my latest back drop (painting on canvas board), which just happened to match the colors of a couple of the plates perfectly.

I love these Pyrex baking dishes! I used a 7 1/2″ x 9 1/2″ baking dish for this recipe. It’s great because it comes with a cover, so I can put it in the fridge.

Oh wow these looks amazing! I love stuffed peppers in the fall, there’s something so comforting about them – maybe it was due to growing up with them during this time of the year. I love that you used tofu, they sound delicious!
