Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup boiling water
  • 2 tablespoons tamari
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon liquid smoke
  • 1 teaspoon ketchup
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 cup texturized vegetable protein TVP
  • 2 tablespoons safflower or other neutral-tasting vegetable oil

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the boiling water, tamari, maple syrup, liquid smoke, ketchup, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix in the TVP and stir until it is evenly coated.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet (preferably cast iron). Add the TVP and cook until it is dry, dark brown, and crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat and allow the TVP to cool. Store Baconish Bits in an airtight container about 1 week.

Bon appetit!
