Equipment
Ingredients
- oil spray for greasing waffle iron
- 1 block tofu super firm, marinated as desired
Instructions
- Turn on waffle iron and spray with oil to prevent tofu from sticking.
- Slice the block of tofu into 1/2 inch slices and place on the fully heated waffle iron. Using a kitchen towel, slowly push the waffle iron all the way closed to force the waffle indents into the tofu.
- Allow to cook for a few minutes, until the tofu waffle is cooked to your liking. Wait a full three minutes before checking.
Notes
- Storage: Keep leftover tofu waffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze them for up to 3 months.
- Reheating: To bring back their crispy magic, reheat in a toaster oven or air fryer until warm and golden.
- Freezing Tip: Freeze individual waffles between parchment paper for easy, no-fuss reheating whenever the craving strikes.
- Preheat Thoroughly: Ensure your waffle iron is fully preheated before adding the tofu. This helps in achieving that coveted golden-brown crust.
- Monitor Cooking Time: Depending on your waffle iron and tofu thickness, cooking times may vary. Keep an eye on the first batch to determine the optimal time for your setup.
