Using traditional seasonings for pepperoni and a fair amount of trial and error, we have discovered a close-enough-for-government-work vegetarian / vegan alternative to prefab "meatless pepperoni", which only has a measly two and a half servings per package.I know some will want to cringe at the oil content, but, c'mahn, it's olive oil! When cooking with tofu, you really have to put some [fat] back into the works to get a good flavor and a decent amount of the oil will stay in the pan.Prep time does not include the pressing time, the freezing and defrosting of the tofu, or the 6-8 hours of marinating because putting all of that into minutes would be absurd :p The reason for freezing and defrosting is that it produces a chewier, more "meaty" substance. Tofu can kept in the freezer for up to five months, so you can save time by cutting and freezing in advance.Note: This turns out fairly spicy. If one is sensitive to spice or children are involved, halving the seasonings or omitting the black and red pepper will still produce a flavorful 'roni.

What Are The Ingredients For Tofu Pepperoni Recipe?The ingredients for Tofu Pepperoni are: 1 block (14 oz.) extra firm tofu2 tbs. olive oil 2 tsp. Liquid Smoke 2 tsp. ground black pepper 1 tsp. mustard seed 1 tsp. fennel seed, slightly crushed 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper 1/2 tsp. anise seed 1 tsp. garlic powder 1 1/2 tsp. paprika 1 tsp. salt How Do I Make Tofu Pepperoni?Here is how you make Tofu Pepperoni: Remove tofu from its container and rinse, shaking off excess water. Place a clean, absorbent, lint-free kitchen towel on a dinner plate; lay the tofu block on half of the towel and cover with the other half; place another dinner plate, upside down, on top; then top the whole stack off with a skillet or large book to press -- the weight expedites excess moisture removal. Allow to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes or so.Cut the block into 1/8 - 1/4" thick (3 - 6 mm) squares (see pic for the preceding cuts) and freeze in a zipper bag, squeezing out as much air as possible without crushing the 'fu. I'd have to guess minimum freezing time is approximately 4 hours.Defrost the tofu completely and drain off any liquid; move tofu to your marinating container of choice (reusing the zipper bag or transferring to a storage container with tightly sealing lid). Combine the oil, liquid smoke, and spices; mix well; then pour over tofu, tossing gently to coat. Refrigerate for 8 hours (overnight or up to 24 hours is fine), turning over occasionally to distribute marinade thoroughly.Baking! Cover your baking sheet / pan (jellyroll would be preferable to contain oil) in crinkled foil -- the crinkling allows excess oil to escape underneath your 'roni -- and lay out tofu in a single layer. Bake at 350 for 60 minutes or until the surface of the tofu is somewhat firm to the touch.Makes approximately 8 servings, give or take -- definitely enough for a 16" pie.Baked tofuroni will keep for about a week in the refrigerator.Number of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user RADIOISOTOPE.What's The Nutritional Info For Tofu Pepperoni?The nutritional information for Tofu Pepperoni is:
