I was never a huge meat eater, even in my pre-vegetarian days. But one thing I LOVED was pepperoni pizza! If you are like me and have been looking for a vegan way to re-create this beloved pizza, then you’ve come to the right place. This vegan pepperoni is quite easy to make and yields a large amount, so you can either freeze some or refrigerate it to use for sandwiches and other meals. *PLEASE NOTE THIS PAGE MAY CONTAIN AFFILIATE LINKS.

What is vegan pepperoni made of?
This vegan pepperoni is seitan based, and made with vital wheat gluten flour. Vital wheat gluten is the natural protein found in wheat, and is often used to make vegetarian meats, as it create a great “meaty” texture. The other ingredients in this pepperoni are various spices, nutritional yeast, water and tomato paste! The spice mix is what really brings the flavors to life! It’s spicy, salty, peppery and smoky. YUM.
How do I make vegan pepperoni?
The process is quite simple. Mix the dry ingredients together, then mix the wet ingredients together in a separate bowl. Pour wet into dry and mix, then knead the dough until smooth. Form into logs, wrap tightly in foil and bake for an hour. Let cool a few minutes, slice and top that pizza!
How should I use vegan pepperoni?
Pizza, of course, with vegan cheese (or try my EASY stretchy vegan mozzarella). Sandwiches- We have been enjoying this all week long on sandwiches for lunch. The kids LOVE it. Homemade Lunchables! Pack your kid a fun lunch with vegan pepperoni slices, vegan cheese and crackers. Charcuterie board for parties- make your own fun appetizer board with this pepperoni. Calzones
