Air Fryer Breakfast Bagel, Romesco, Smoked Tofu, Crispy Capers

Smoked tofu bagels aren’t new. This romesco sauce is what makes it so so good! I had two red peppers going soft in the fridge and needed to use them before they ended up in the bin, this is what happened, and I haven’t stopped thinking about it since. Charred in the air fryer until the skins blister and blacken, peeled, then blitzed with toasted almonds, garlic, smoked paprika and a splash of sherry vinegar. That’s romesco, rich, smoky, a little punchy from the vinegar, and honestly one of the easiest sauces you’ll ever make. I could eat it with a spoon. Layer it up with crispy air-fried smoked tofu, capers fried until golden, and a handful of peppery rocket, all piled onto a toasted bagel. Every element earns its place, smoky, crispy, punchy, fresh, all at once. This is proper weekend breakfast energy, and it’s part of air fryer week.
