  1. 1

    In a food processor, blend vegetable broth, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic, tomato paste, smoked paprika, dried thyme, and nutritional yeast until smooth.

    Add vital wheat gluten to the bowl. Pulse until a dough ball forms. Knead on a clean counter for 3-4 minutes to develop the gluten texture.

    Unwrap and glaze with maple-mustard glaze. Roast in a 200°C (400°F) oven for 15 minutes until caramelized and sliceable.
