You'll won't miss the bacon in this protein-packed plant-based BLT. Smoky and flavorful tofu bacon makes this vegan BLT a crave-worthy sandwich.
This is a classic BLT sandwich, reimagined. I mean, who doesn't love a good BLT?
The only thing that's not vegan about a BLT is the bacon. Instead of 'real' bacon, we'll make a tofu bacon that has that same sweet, smoky, umami flavor that bacon does.
It's not hard to make and I promise you won't taste the tofu at all!
Bonus: tofu has much more protein than bacon. Leaving you full and satisfied.
Step 1. In a small bowl mix the maple syrup, liquid aminos, tomato paste, and liquid smoke.
Step 2. Place the tofu strips in a container and pour over the marinade. Allow to soak for at least 30 minutes, up to overnight.
Step 3. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the tofu strips in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes, until brown and crisp.
Step 4. When the tofu is cooked, assemble the sandwiches. Spread a tablespoon of mayo on a slice of bread, then top with the lettuce, tomatoes, tofu bacon, and finally a second slice of bread. Enjoy!
Thank you God for this sandwich. Thank you for healthier versions of our favorite foods. Amen.
