Ingredients
  

  • For The Vegan Tofu Bacon:
  • 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
  • For the sandwich:
  • 4 slices of bread gluten-free or regular
  • 2 tbsp of vegan mayo
  • 1 medium sized avocado

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.
  • Then assemble your sandwiches by spreading some vegan mayo on the bread and layring half the bacon slices per portion (to make 2 sandwiches) finish with sliced avocado and top with a second slice of bread.
  • 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.
