Easy, 10-ingredient vegan pepperoni made with tofu and a blend of spices! Perfect for pizza, calzones, and more!



Ingredients
10 ounces extra-firm tofu (organic when possible)
1 - 1 1/2 tsp each sea salt and ground black pepper
2-3 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (depending on preferred heat level)
2 tsp ground mustard seeds
1 tsp fennel seeds (lightly crushed)
2 tsp smoked paprika
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp coconut sugar
1/4 tsp ground anise
1 tsp A1 sauce or liquid smoke (optional)
Cooking spray or olive oil for baking

Instructions
Wrap tofu in a clean towel and set something heavy on top - like a cast-iron skillet - to press out liquid for 10-15 minutes. Also preheat oven to 400 degrees F (204 C).
Once pressed, cube tofu and add to a food processor along with sea salt, black pepper, red pepper flake, ground mustard, fennel seeds, smoked paprika, garlic powder, coconut sugar, ground anise, and A1 sauce/liquid smoke (optional). Mix/pulse to combine, scraping down sides as needed.
