Ingredients

For the Seitan Roast:

  • 1 1/2 cups vital wheat gluten
  • 1/2 cup chickpea flour
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried sage
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary crushed
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 1/4 cups vegan chicken-style broth
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning

For the Basting Liquid:

  • 1 1/4 cup vegan chicken-style broth unsalted or low-sodium
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons garlic finely minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried sage
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray an 11×7-inch (2 quart) baking dish with non-stick cooking spray or brush with olive oil. It’s essential to use a relatively small baking dish to accommodate the seitan’s expansion as it roasts.
  • In a large bowl, combine the vital wheat gluten, chickpea flour, onion powder, dried sage, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the vegetable broth, soy sauce, and maple syrup. Gradually stir this mixture into the flour mixture.
  • Working quickly, use your hands to knead the dough just until combined. The dough will come together almost immediately and have a wet but firm and springy texture. Shape into a loaf approximately 7 inches in length. Sprinkle the seitan roast with poultry seasoning, then place it in the prepared baking dish.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the chicken-style broth, soy sauce, minced garlic, dried sage, dried rosemary, and dried thyme. Pour this mixture around the seitan roast in the baking dish.
  • Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour. Once done, transfer the roast to a serving plate and spoon the basting liquid over it. Use a serrated knife to cut into individual slices and serve hot.
