How to make a vegan BLT
Pre-heat oven to 190C/375F. Drain and press the tofu.
In a bowl, mix the rest of the bacon tofu ingredients. Taste and adjust the flavour.
Slice the tofu thinly, and line a baking tray.
Cover each tofu slice in the sauce mixture and place on the baking tray.
Bake in the oven for 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
While the tofu is baking, slice the bread, tomato, avocado and lettuce ready for the sandwich to be assembled.
When the tofu is cooked, load up the sandwich with some vegan mayo, the tofu, tomato, avocado, lettuce and ketchup. Slice and enjoy!
Try this tofu out on a rice bowl, in a wrap, on top of a salad or with anything else you fancy! It is a great and easy meat replacement.
If you’re worried about getting enough protein on a vegan or vegetarian diet, tofu is a great high protein food!

I made this tonight – it was great! Super easy to make and a fun alternative to the BLT.
Also, just wanted to say — I’ve been watching a ton of your youtube videos for the past few months, and the more that I watch, the more that I just love you and Edward. I’m new to the idea of veganism, so your vids have been super helpful. But what I really, really appreciate is that you try to buy products with less packaging and that you are trying to do your part to care for the earth, but you’re not so gung ho about it that it feels unrealistic for the rest of us. I think you have an amazing smile, I love your honesty and simplicity, your recipes are golden, and I can’t wait to continue watching your videos. Thanks for all the inspiration, and keep doing what you’re doing!
