This viral vegan bacon recipe made from smoked tofu is perfect on a slider bun with vegan eggs, melty cheese, avocado and spicy mayo for a real California BLT. Easy and comforting plant-based recipe.
1. Preheat your oven to 425F.
2. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, maple syrup, soy sauce, sriracha and corn starch.
3. Using a peeler, peel your smoked tofu into the marinade. This is key to get really thin strips! A Y shaped peeler is preferred. Toss the smoked tofu gently to evenly coat in the marinade.
4. Place the smoked tofu on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Flip the tofu around and bake for another 5-10 minutes. It should be crispy at this point, not burnt so watch carefully. Remove and let cool slightly and enjoy as is, on a BLT, Caesar salad or wherever you enjoy bacon!
