Equipment
- Waffle Iron
- Oven Broiler
Ingredients
- 1/2 block Nasoya Organic Extra Firm Tofu
- Cooking spray
- 1/4 cup pizza sauce click for my easy no cook pizza sauce recipe
- 1/4 cup cheese
- 1/4 cup pizza toppings of choice I used bell peppers, mushrooms, and onions
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil julienned
Instructions
- Slice block of tofu in half lengthwise. Slice each half into 4 long strips, about 1/2 inch thick. These tofu slices will go into the waffle maker. (My waffle maker was able to fit 4 of the slices at a time, but yours may vary depending on the model.)
- Slice half a block of tofu lengthwise into 4 equal slices. Place tofu on hot waffle maker, press down, and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until waffles start to brown.
- Place waffle on a baking sheet. Spray each side of the waffle with cooking spray, and place the baking sheet under the oven broiler. Broil the waffe for 5 minutes on each side until waffle becomes crispy.
- Remove waffle from oven. Top with pizza sauce, then cheese, then toppings of choice. Place pizza waffle back under the broiler and broil for 6 to 8 minutes or until the plant based cheese and toppings starts to brown.
- Remove pizza from oven, and drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with red chili flakes, and top with fresh julienned basil. Mangia!
