Vegan bacon bits

6 ratings

No pigs were harmed in the making of this bacon. Tofu is fried with lots of savoury flavours to create these vegan bacon bits.

Ingredients

Method

  1. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and add all the other ingredients except the seasoning. Stir until the tofu is completely coated, then season with salt and pepper. Fry, stirring regularly, until the tofu is crisp – this will take several minutes.

  2. Spread the tofu on kitchen paper to dry – it will continue to crisp up as it cools. When cool, transfer to a container and keep in the fridge for up to a week.

Recipe Tips

For bacon slices, thinly slice the tofu instead of dicing it.

Annatto powder adds colour and has a neutral flavour. If you can’t find it, try saffron powder instead.
