High-protein, plant-based bac'un bits made from textured soy or pea protein, seasoned with a smoky, savory, and slightly sweet marinade, then baked until crispy. Perfect for adding to wraps, salads, or bowls.
Preheat oven to 350 F and line a baking tray with parchment paper, set aside. Bring 3 cups water or veg broth to a boil and pour over textured protein bits. Allow to hydrate for 10 minutes. In a mixing bowl add: oil, soy sauce, hot sauce, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, smoked paprika, and salt, whisk to combine. Drain textured protein from the water or broth and add to the seasoning mix. Toss well to coat. Spread evenly across baking tray and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and shake the pan around, tossing the bac’un bits. Place back in the oven for 5-10 minutes or until crispy. Enjoy in wraps, salads, or bowls!
