TBLTs

with Potato Chips & Garlic Mayo

Salty, smoky, sweet, crunchy, creamy, juicy, complex, yet simple? Yes, please. The BLT sandwich, cherished for its perfect balance of textures and flavors, is truly greater than the sum of its parts. No vegan should be deprived of it! For a plant-based twist on bacon, we coat thin shavings of tofu in a bold, concentrated paste and roast them until they are caramelized and crispy. Silky garlic mayo, tender leafy greens, and sweet ripe tomatoes top it all off to create the greatest sandwich in the world.

INSTRUCTIONS

1
Make the garlic mayo and spice paste

Preheat oven to 400°F. Stir together mayo, garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper in small bowl and set aside. In separate small bowl, combine tomato powder, mushroom powder, miso, liquid smoke, maple, just 1 tsp paprika, 2 tsp salt, 1 tsp pepper, and 2 tbsp warm water and whisk together spice paste.

2
Roast the potato chips

Combine potato, just 1 tsp paprika, 1 tbsp vegetable oil, ¼ tsp salt, and a pinch of pepper on baking sheet. Toss to coat and roast until crispy, 25 to 30 minutes, rotating sheet halfway.

3
Cook the tofu-bacon

Meanwhile, brush second baking sheet with 2 tbsp vegetable oil. Lay tofu ribbons in single layer and brush with spice paste. Roast until dark and edge pieces are crispy, 24 to 28 minutes, rotating sheet halfway. (TIP: You can overlap tofu ribbons in order to fit on baking sheet.)

4
Toast the bread and assemble the sandwiches

Place sourdough directly on oven rack and toast until lightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to clean work surface. Spread some garlic mayo on 2 slices and top with greens, tomato, and tofu-bacon. Close sandwiches with remaining slices sourdough.

5
Serve

Cut TBLTs in half and serve with potato chips and extra garlic mayo for dipping. Tuck in!
