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!
