Vegan Ground Beef Substitute

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, crumble the tofu with a potato masher or the back of a fork until it is evenly ground.

Step 3

Add all seasonings and sauces to the tofu, and mix until the crumbles are coated evenly.

Step 4

Pour the crumbles onto the lined baking sheet, and spread evenly across. Place in the oven for 20 minutes, then mix with a spatula, and place back in the oven for an additional 20 minutes until the crumbles are slightly crispy. You can broil for an additional 2 minutes if more crispiness is desired.

Step 5

Allow to cool slightly before adding to a salad, tacos or pasta sauce. Store in the fridge covered for up to 4 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
