Pro Tips for the Best Results

Use Lower Heat for Even Cooking

Protein waffles tend to brown faster—360°F gives perfect texture without over-toasting.

Flip If You Want Balanced Crisp

Optional, but flipping halfway through can help both sides crisp evenly.

No Oil Needed

They crisp naturally—no additional fats required.

Add Toppings After Cooking

Avoid soggy waffles by waiting to add fruit, syrup, or spreads until after air frying.
