Fire up the grill this weekend and prepare your favorite barbecue sauce for these super-easy and super-tasty seitan ribz!

This recipe, direct from my archive, comes together faster than a batch of brownies. You can double up and freeze for later and also to slice  thin and fry up like bacon. Yum!

  1. These look so cool, and I love that they can double up as bacon. I love dishes that you can make once and eat multiple times ;P
    Is there anywhere in particular that you buy your gluten (online??).
    Also, I would love to know the recipes for the other components of this meal. The cornbread and mac and cheese look divine!!

    1. Yes! I buy vital wheat gluten in quantity from Bob’s Red Mill through Amazon.com. The best price I’ve found and it’s a great product. You gave me a good idea for future posts! Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment 🙂
