WHAT YOU NEED
tofu:
1 pack tofu, drained and cut into thin slabs
red pepper sauce:
1 red bell pepper
2 T tamari
2 t garlic powder
2 T hemp hearts
1 inch fresh ginger
Salt to taste
Preheat oven to 425 ^blend all ingredients together until smooth^ coat tofu in sauce and allow to soak for 30 minutes. Transfer to a Silpat lined baking pan, keeping tofu pieces saucy (I spooned some extra sauce on top once on the pan). Bake for 30-40 minutes until moisture is lost.
potato + Brussels:
2 medium sweet potatoes
1 lb brussel sprouts
Olive oil
Cut brussel sprouts in half and sweet potato into bite sized pieces. Toss in olive oil just enough to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Spread evenly on baking pan and bake for ~30 minutes until charred and tender at 425 degrees. Toss brussel sprouts and sweet potatoes in pesto when out of the oven (recipe on my website).
Crimini bacon:
8 oz crimini mushrooms, thinly cut
olive oil
~1-2 T tamari
1-2 t Worcestershire
1-2 t coffee rub, optional (on my website)
1 t garlic powder
salt
pepper
Reduce oven heat to 375. Into a large bowl, place cut crimini’s and lightly drizzle with olive oil. Drizzle with tamari and Worcestershire, toss gently to incorporate. Season with coffee rub, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Toss again to combine. Allow to absorb most of the liquid, spread into an even layer on a baking pan and bake until dehydrated, about 20 minutes. Be sure to continue tossing and checking on them. They will burn quickly!
