Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400ºF or 200ºC. Press the tofu while the oven is preheating (just wrap the tofu in a clean towel and apply a steady weight to squeeze out the moisture).

  2. Add all the ingredients to a food processor and pulse until well combined.

  3. Try the mixture and adjust the seasonings if needed. I added ½ tsp of red pepper flakes, but feel free to add more of them if you like your vegan pepperoni really spicy.

  4. Spread the mixture onto a lined baking sheet into an even layer about ¼ or ⅛ inch thick (about 0,3-0,6 cm). 

  5. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown.

Chef's Notes


Feel free to add regular paprika to your vegetarian pepperoni if you can't find smoked paprika.
Any type of sugar will do.
Omit the liquid smoke if you can't find it. In that case, try to use smoked paprika, but it's okay if you can't find it either.
Add more or less red pepper flakes to your vegan pepperoni recipe depending on how spicy you want it to be.
