How to Make Tofu Waffle Avocado Toast
Slice and Season the Tofu
Slice your block of extra firm tofu down the center to create two large ‘slices’ that resemble traditional bread slices. Season each tofu slice with salt and pepper, then lightly coat each side with cornstarch.
Cook the Tofu Waffles
Place the tofu slices in your waffle maker, one at a time.
Cook for approximately 10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Mash the Avocado
While the tofu waffles cook, prepare your toppings.
Top Your Tofu Waffle
Once the tofu waffles are done, add on your toppings! Spread over the beetroot hummus.
Then add on sliced avocado, pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds, vegan feta, and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Recipe Tips for Tofu Waffle Avocado Toast
Use Extra-Firm Tofu: Choose extra firm tofu for a crunchy, waffle-like texture. Extra firm tofu holds its shape and crisps beautifully in the waffle iron. Soft or silken tofu may not give you the desired texture.
Customize Your Toppings: Tofu waffles are a blank canvas that beautifully soaks up the flavor of whatever toppings you add. Some of my favourite avo toast additions are adding a balsamic glaze, lemon juice, everything but the bagel seasoning, or some micro greens. You can even add on some lupine beans for even more protein!
Spray your Waffle Maker with Oil: This will ensure that your waffle does not stick to the waffle maker and will give it a nice golden colour.
Press your Tofu Before Cooking: The tofu cooks best when the liquid is pressed out. It will cook faster and become more crispy when pressed.
Tofu Waffle Cooking Time: Cooking time can vary depending on your waffle maker, so keep an eye on the tofu waffles as they cook. You want them to be nicely golden brown and crispy. It should take about 10-15 minutes.
Spice it up: We’ve gone with a simple seasoning of salt and pepper for the tofu but you can add any spices of your choice for a unique flavour! Try adding cumin, smoked paprika or curry powder, or your favourite spices of choice.
