Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Vegan “Chicken Thighs”
  • 2 cups seitan or extra-firm tofu cut into large pieces
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp salt
For the Garlic Parmesan Roasted Potatoes
  • 3 medium potatoes cubed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ cup vegan parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1 tsp rosemary
  • ½ tsp thyme
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
For Garnish
  • Fresh parsley
  • Lemon wedges

Method
 

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set to 400°F (200°C) because crispy dreams deserve a hot start.
  2. Season the “Chicken”: Toss seitan or tofu with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
  3. Prep the Potatoes: In a bowl, mix potatoes with olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, lemon juice, vegan parmesan, and nutritional yeast.
  4. Arrange and Roast: Spread everything evenly on a lined baking sheet. Place the “chicken” pieces beside the potatoes for even browning.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Roast for 20 minutes. Flip everything, then bake another 15 minutes until golden, crispy, and mouthwateringly fragrant.
  6. Serve & Slay: Garnish with parsley and lemon wedges. Serve hot and pretend it took hours.
