How to Make Baked Seitan

Seitan, or wheat gluten, is a great meat substitute for meat for those who are vegetarian. Some people find the texture too much like meat, however, I find that baking it makes tastier and more palatable.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 3 cups of seitan
• Baking pan
• Olive oil
• Thyme
• Braggs amino acids

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Chop the seitan into small pieces so you have about 3 cups. Put the seitan pieces in the baking pan.

2. Pour a few tablespoons of olive oil over the seitan. Add two teaspoons of thyme. Use your hands to make sure the oil and thyme are evenly distributed.

3. Spread out the seitan pieces. Squeeze about a quarter cup of braggs over top. Put the pan in the oven uncovered.

4. Bake for 20 minutes or until the edges start to brown. Remove and serve with any tasty side dishes of your choice.

Tips & Warnings

• This goes well with mashed potatoes.
• Don't leave it in the oven too long. The seitan will dry out.
• Don't eat seitan if you are allergic to wheat.
