Crispy Tofu for Vegan Doner Kebabs, Crispy Bowls, and Salads

Hearty Seasoned Crispy Tofu – The Ultimate Vegan Protein Topping for Kebabs, Wraps, and Fresh Salads.

15 Min.

Preparation

1. Tofu Preparation:
Press the tofu to remove as much water as possible. Then tear into thin, irregular pieces.

2. Coating:
Place the tofu in a bowl or a freezer bag. Add the oil and spices, then mix thoroughly. Sprinkle the cornstarch over it and shake until every piece is thinly coated with starch.

3. Baking or Airfrying:
Bake in the oven at 200 °C on a baking sheet for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through. Alternatively, cook in an air fryer at 190 °C for approx. 12–15 minutes, shaking occasionally.

4. Serving:
Serve the crispy tofu warm as a filling in flatbread or pita for a vegan doner kebab, or use as a topping over fresh salads, bowls, and wraps.
