Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup chickpeas, canned and drained
- 1 cup vital wheat gluten
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon fennel seeds
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups potatoes, cubed
- 1 cup carrots, sliced
- 1 cup red bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup zucchini, sliced
- to taste salt and black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large mixing bowl, mash the chickpeas with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth.
Add the vital wheat gluten, nutritional yeast, smoked paprika, fennel seeds, garlic powder, and onion powder to the chickpeas.
Mix in the soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and water until a dough forms. Knead the dough for 3-5 minutes until elastic.
Shape the dough into 4-6 sausage links.
Wrap each sausage link in aluminum foil, twisting the ends to seal.
Place the wrapped sausages on a baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes.
While sausages are baking, toss potatoes, carrots, red bell pepper, and zucchini with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, pepper, and dried thyme in a large bowl.
Spread the vegetables on another baking sheet and roast in the oven for 30-35 minutes, or until tender and golden brown, stirring halfway through.
Once the sausages are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before unwrapping.
Serve the vegan sausages alongside the roasted vegetables and enjoy your meal!
