Ingredients
Vegan Gluten-Free Tofu Dogs
- 1 block extra firm tofu thawed, previously frozen tofu is ideal, drained and pressed or patted with paper towel

- 1 Tbsp paprika

Instructions
Vegan Gluten-Free Tofu Dogs
- Preheat over to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Drain and press tofu or pat with paper towel to get rid of excess water. Thawed, previously frozen tofu is ideal to use for optimal texture, but not necessary.
- Add all remaining ingredients to a bowl and stir until combined.
- Crumble tofu into the bowl of flavourings and stir. Using a hand blender, blender or food processor, blend until it turns into a smooth paste.
- Set out a large piece of aluminum foil on the countertop (you can also line it with parchment paper if you desire). Add 1/4 of the mixture to the foil and form into a log, then tightly roll and fold the sides closed. Repeat with remaining mixture until you have 4 tofu logs.
- Place the 4 wrapped tofu logs onto a baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes, turning half way through.
- Remove from the oven and unwrap the tofu dogs. Allow to sit for 7-10 minutes to cool down and firm up.
- Serve as is or grill up your tofu dogs in a pan with oil, or optionally on the bbq. Serve on a bun with your favourite hot dog toppings!
