TVP Bacon

Ingredients:

Wet
2 tablespoon water
4 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon liquid smoke
2 tablespoons maple syrup 

Dry
1 cup TVP
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder

Directions:

Preheat oven to 225 degrees.

In a saucepan, combine wet ingredients and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat and add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in the saucepan and combine. Allow to sit for about 10 minutes until the moisture is absorbed.

Line a sheet pan with parchment and spread the TVP bacon on the pan. Bake in the oven, stirring every few minutes. Watch closely. These will be crisp/dry once complete.

Notes:

Use these as a filling for vegan quiche or frittata or add to scrambled tofu. Store leftovers in the refrigerator or freeze to use later.
