Glazed Corned Seitan Roast

Glazed Corned Seitan Roast

Homemade seitan with a sweet mustard glaze and pickling spices – perfect for vegan Reuben sandwiches or your St. Patrick’s day feast!

Guys, why have I never made my own seitan before?!

It’s is so ridiculously easy! And cheap compared to how much this much seitan would cost in the grocery store.

And you probably already have all or most of the ingredients needed in your pantry right now.

This recipe begins with basic seitan and then gets fancy with the addition of a sweet mustard glaze and topped off with pickling spices.

If you want to make extra of the basic seitan for use another day (which I highly recommend!), just skip adding the glaze and pickling spice blend and go straight to the baking.

The glazed corned seitan will look like this just before going into the oven…

… And while it is roasting, your kitchen will smell AMAZING!!

When you take the roast out of the oven, set it straight onto a cutting board. Let it hang out for a bit until cool enough to handle then just slice and serve.

How to make Glazed Corned Seitan Roast:

How to serve:

For the first meal with this awesome roast, I served the semi-thick slices pictured, which I think is the ideal size to go with mashed potatoes.

I’ve also made this roast specifically for Reuben sandwiches. I highly recommend using a mandolin for super thin slices. 

For sandwiches – Pile the sliced seitan onto pumpernickel/rye bread with Russian dressing, sauerkraut, and vegan provolone.  Cook it up grilled cheese style and – oh, man! it’s good!

We made two whole meals out of the leftovers. The first was the corned seitan over mashed potatoes with a little gravy.

And then we used the remaining seitan with coleslaw for some really tasty tacos the next night.
