If you do miss bacon, this is a very good alternative to it. It's wonderful in sandwiches with ketchup!

Ingredients
  

  • 14 oz /400g/1 whole extra firm tofu, thinly sliced length-ways
  • 2 tbsp Dark Soy Sauce or tamari sauce for a GF option
  • 1 tbsp tomato puree/paste
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or molasses/black treacle
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp liquid smoke (optional) for extra smokiness
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375F/190C.
  • Place the tofu slices in a deep dish.Mix together the soy, paprika, tomato purée, maple, and liquid smoke ( optional ). Pour the marinade onto the tofu slices and marinate in the fridge for 1 hour. I left it overnight, once and it was even better!
  • Spread the tofu slices on a baking tray and bake in the oven for 15-20 mins. Bake them 5 minutes longer for extra crispiness. Once baked, I leave them to cool down for 5-10 minutes to firm up. Enjoy!

Notes

The vegan tofu bacon is best stored in the fridge and ideally reheated in the oven or eaten cold. It will last for up to 4 days.
I like to make sandwiches with it!
