Ingredients
- 1 (8-ounce) package of mushrooms (any variety is fine)
- 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons of hot chili oil
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons of onion powder
- 2 tablespoons of brown sugar
- ½ cup of Vital Wheat Gluten
- ½ cup of BBQ Sauce
Instructions
- Place the mushrooms in a food processor. Process until chopped in small pieces.
- Add soy sauce, hot chili oil, garlic powder, onion powder, sugar, and wheat gluten. Process until smooth (If your mixture is too moist to the point where you will not be able to shape it into jerky strips, add 1 tbsp of vital wheat gluten. Process the added vital wheat gluten and check your mixture.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C).
- While the oven is preheating, remove mushroom mixture from the food processor. Place it on a flat surface and shape into a thin rectangle. Using a rolling pin, roll it out until it flattens.
- Slice the rectangle into thin strips. They should be about an inch wide. In this step, if your mixture is sticky and difficult to work with, bring it back to the food processor and add one more tablespoon of vital wheat gluten. Repeat this process until you achieve a mixture that is very easy to work with and does not stick to your hands or your surface.
- Place the strips on a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat. Cook for 15 minutes and then flip. Cook for 15 more minutes.
- Remove from the oven and brush on BBQ sauce on both sides of the strip. Cook for 5 to 10 more minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
- Remove from heat and enjoy!

Notes
- Wipe, don’t wash: So the mushrooms don’t soak up excess liquid.
- Wheat gluten amount may vary: The key is to get the ‘dough’ to a consistency where you can roll it out without it being wet or sticky. If needed, add more VWG, 1 tbsp at a time.
- Adjust the taste: You can easily adjust the spices and sauce.
