Ingredients

240 Grams Vital Wheat Gluten about 2 cups
30 Grams Nutritional Yeast about ½ cup
1 Tablespoon Onion Powder
1 Tablespoon Garlic Powder
1 Teaspoon Cumin
1 Teaspoon Paprika
¼ Teaspoon Chili Powder
1 Cup Water
¼ Cup Soy Sauce, Tamari, or Liquid Aminos
1 Tablespoon Ketchup
½ Teaspoon Liquid Smoke
1 Cup BBQ Sauce

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl mix together all the ingredients except the bbq sauce. Start with a fork and then use your hands to form one large ball.
Form the seitan into a thin patty, about ½" tall. Place the patty on the parchment lined pan and bake for 30 minutes, until an internal temperature of 195°F is reached.
When the seitan has about 10 minutes left in the oven, heat the grill or griddle pan if using.
Remove the seitan from the oven and coat generously in the bbq sauce.
Grill the seitan for 3-5 minutes per side, until grill marks form.
If you don't have a grill or griddle, return the seitan to the oven and broil for 3-5 minutes per side.
Remove from the grill and slice into rib shaped slices. Serve.
