Tofu is coated in sugar-free barbecue sauce and then quick-cooked on a waffle iron for the chewiest, most flavorful tofu in under 10 minutes.…
Red Lentil Soup with Cauliflower Rice
This richly spiced but not spicy red lentil soup is made thicker and heartier by the addition of cauliflower rice. It’s a complete vegan meal in a bowl, but serve it with a little naan or pita bread if you like.…
Air Fried Tofu Italian Style
I’ve had an air fryer for well over a year and even started a Facebook group, FatFree Vegan Air Fryers, to share cooking ideas.
