Ingredients
- 4 ounces Butler Soy Curls
- 4 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce or tamari
- ⅓ cup water
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 1 ½ teaspoons liquid smoke
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350° F.
- Break the soy curls into small pieces. This is a good use for the small bits of soy curl at the bottom of the box when you purchase the in bulk. I found that they break into bacon bit sized pieces easily in my nut chopper. Place the soy curl bits in medium sized bowl.
- Mix the remaining ingredients together in a small bowl.
- Pour the marinade over the soy curl bits and stir to coat them all. Allow the soy curl bits to sit and absorb the marinade for about 10 minutes.
- Spread the soy curls out on a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until they are as crispy as you like. Be sure to check them frequently as they get close to done, as they can go from crispy to burnt very quickly.
