If you’re concerned about gluten, you may wonder if you should stay away from vegan sausages. The good news is that many brands don’t contain gluten and are safe for gluten-free individuals to eat – see a recipe below. Ingredients are flexible, and you can change it up to suit your own preferences or dietary restrictions. For example, omit the nuts or white beans. You can also adjust the flavor by adding smoked or spicy spices.
Once made, vegan sausages can be baked, fried, or grilled to serve as a side dish. When cooking, make sure they are coated with oil and cooked slowly, until they are crispy on the outside. You can also cook them in a grill on low heat. After cooking, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Alternatively, you can freeze raw vegan sausages before frying them. However, you may need to reshape them when they are defrosted.
When making vegan sausages, you can also add miso paste to give them a meaty texture. Miso paste contains umami and salt, and it adds bulk to the sausages. If you need to avoid gluten, you can substitute miso paste with another gluten-free ingredient, such as maple syrup.
Although most sausage companies claim to use gluten-free ingredients, some sausages are still produced on equipment that processes gluten-containing grains. Be sure to look for gluten-free ingredients on the label. A few manufacturers are willing to go to extra lengths to ensure that their products are gluten-free.
