Crispy Tofu Bacon

Get ready for some fun in the kitchen making some homemade tofu bacon for your Vegan Crispy Tofu BLT Wrap! It’s as easy as can be because all you need is some firm tofu, which most plant-based folks already have chilling in their fridge. No need to stress about planning ahead!

Grab a veggie peeler and slice that tofu into thin, beautiful pieces. This step is what makes our tofu slices turn all bubbly and wonderfully crispy when they hit the frying pan.

Now, here’s the secret sauce (literally!): Forget about fancy ingredients; our marinade is made from basic pantry staples and a dash of liquid smoke. Liquid smoke is like a superhero in vegan kitchens—it adds that amazing flavour boost to dishes without any animal products. I recommend Try Me Sauces Liquid Smoke; it’s easy to find online, super tasty, and totally vegan-friendly!

How to Make This Vegan Crispy Tofu BLT Wrap

Tofu Bacon

Whisk together all of the ingredients for the marinade in a shallow bowl.

Gently press excess water from the firm tofu block with paper towel or a tea towel. Using a vegetable peeler, make 12-15 long thin slices of tofu from your firm tofu block (peel the long side of the tofu block-not the wider side).

Dip each tofu slice into the marinade (or use a basting brush) and add the slices to an oiled frying pan on medium heat heat.

Fry tofu slices for 3-4 minutes on each side until tofu is nice and crispy.

Assembling the Wrap

Wash and chop lettuce.

Wash and slice tomatoes.

Spread a helping of vegan mayonnaise on your tortilla.

Add vegan tofu bacon, lettuce, tomato and a sprinkle of black pepper to the tortilla. Fold the edges of the tortilla inward then roll. Slice the BLT wrap in two and enjoy!

Common Questions

Do I have to Individually Marinate Each Tofu Piece?

No. For an easier method, after making your thin tofu slices with your vegetable peeler, simply throw all your tofu pieces into the bowl of marinade and mix. Then, add to the frying pan. This creates more of a shredded bacon bits result, rather than perfect bacon strips, but they taste just as delicious!

Do I have to Use a Vegetable Peeler?

I would suggest using a peeler to get your tofu extra thin. This gives that crunchiness to the tofu bacon. If your tofu strips are not perfect, that is okay.
