This veggie-packed breakfast hash is a hearty plant-based dish that will make the whole family happy. It’s made with beans, red bell pepper, onions, carrots, and even tofu, so it keeps you full for hours. If you want a breakfast side dish this recipe, my Seasoned Grits make a great one.

• Amazingly filling
• Heart-healthy

This recipe reminds me a lot of tofu breakfast scramble but it’s way more loaded. Normally, I just add onions, peppers, and spinach to my tofu scramble, but this breakfast hash is piled high with beans, tofu, bulgur, and veggies which makes it even more flavorful and hearty.

How to make vegan hash

The recipe card at the bottom of the page has the full list of ingredients with measurements and instructions.

This is a really easy recipe, and I make it in about 25-minutes or less, so you can too!

Begin by dicing up the red bell pepper, green onions, and carrots. I always purchase grated carrots in a bag to toss into veggie bowls, stir-fries, and other dishes. It makes it so much faster with recipes like this too. I highly recommend keeping them on hand.

I am often asked which knives I use personally, and I have to say that it is Victorinox. They are the same company that makes Swiss Army Knives and the quality is excellent.

Next, if you’re using canned beans, drain the liquid from them and rinse in a colander. This will remove a lot of the preservatives and salt. Even better yet, cook your own beans from scratch.

One of the main ingredients in this recipe is a deliciously healthy and filling grain called bulgur. It is optional, so you can leave it out, but it adds a lot of flavor and texture, so I recommend including it. However, to make this recipe gluten-free, you’ll want to omit it.

It needs to be cooked first, which only takes about 10-minutes on the stovetop or about 5-minutes in the microwave. I like to make large batches of bulgur in my rice cooker and keep it in the freezer to easily add to recipes like this.

What is bulgur?

Bulgur is a wheat grain found in many grocery stores. It cooks just like rice on the stovetop or in a microwave or rice cooker. It has a ground beef texture and a natural nutty flavor.

What I like about it is that it soaks up the flavors of whatever sauces you are using it in. I use bulgur in many recipes, including chili beans, tacos, lasagna, no-meat loaf, and more.

Tofu tips

This recipe calls for firm or extra firm tofu because we want the texture to be denser than soft tofu can offer. Freezing the tofu ahead of time and allowing it to thaw gives it a much firmer texture that is great for crumbling or even for skewering with kabobs. Freezing is not required for this recipe, but I highly recommend keeping some tofu in your freezer for recipes like this and others.

The tofu will need to be drained and pressed before using. If you’re using a previously frozen and thawed block of tofu, simply use your hands to squeeze out the water like a sponge over the sink. Watch the video below of me making breakfast tofu scramble that shows how easy it is to handle tofu after it’s been frozen.

In a large skillet, add the veggie broth, onions, carrots, and bell peppers. Saute for about 3-minutes.

Crumble in the tofu, beans, cooked bulgur, and all the seasonings. Stir to incorporate well. If needed, add a little more veggie broth to keep it from sticking.

Continue to cook for about 3 more minutes to allow the ingredients and seasonings to marry-up a bit.

Serve warm alone or with toast and fresh fruit.

Plant-based vegan sausage makes a great addition when serving this for breakfast. It is one of the many products that I like to order from MamaSezz meal delivery service. It comes ready to heat and eat, and it can also be frozen.
