Bring 3 cups of water to a boil and pour over textured pea crumbles, set aside to hydrate, 10 minutes.
To a small bowl add: olive oil, soy sauce, hot sauce, balsamic vinegar, date syrup, smoked paprika, and salt, whisking well to combine, set aside.
Drain pea crumbles well and add to a flat bottom container, spreading the pea crumbles evenly across the bottom.
Pour the marinade over the pea crumbles and mix together well.
Set in the fridge to marinate overnight.
Bake:
Preheat the oven to 350 F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Add prepared pea protein crumbles and spread evenly across the baking tray.
