It’s time for Chorizo Seitan Sheet Pan Supper. Dang, that’s a mouth-full isn’t it! #thatswhatshesaid. This is a delicious, vegan dinner that I put together at the last minute. I had planned to make crockpot chicken, but I was too lazy to wash the crockpot, and so this recipe was born. It is tangy, full of protein, includes healthy cultured veggies and is just a bit spicy. I got my seitan at Whole Foods, but my favorite vegan, Christy, told me it’s also available at Wegmans. Seitan, not to be confused with Satan, is sometimes called wheat meat and is made from rinsing and cooking wheat dough to remove the starch. It doesn’t sound too appetizing, but I promise you, it’s good. If you just can’t wrap your head around that, feel free to sub seitan for any kind of spicy sausage.

I wasn’t sure if my kids would be down with the spicy chorizo flavored seitan, but my picky five year old said it was yummy “chicken” and my son asked if I would make this for his birthday in February. Victory! Hope you’re all having your own tiny victories so far this week!
