Second time making these “bacon” bits and as I juiced a large beet and only need a tablespoon for coloring in this recipe, I did triple batch!! My non-vegan husband also loves these. Can’t wait to make a loaded baked potato.

So easy and delicious! Used them as a home made substitute to use on PUL recipes since I can't find vegan bacon bits in my area. Thank you!

do we have to soak the TVP?

Hi HS, no pre-soaking needed! The TVP softens as it sits in the marinade and absorbs all that flavourful liquid. Just be sure to give it a few stirs while it soaks to help it hydrate evenly 😊

Amazing! So easy and flavourful. A great way to give a protein boost to any meal. Since i tried it I make it almost every week

So delicious! I was pleasantly surprised with these. My non-vegan family members also enjoyed this vegan version. I now need to make a loaded baked potato!

Ça se "picore" tout seul 😆. Je sens que je vais refaire souvent cette recette, c'est très facile, bon et croustillant ! J'ai utilisé un calibre de TVP plus gros que celui de la recette et ça fonctionne très bien.
