Sundried Tomato Vegan Sausages (Gluten-Free) – Very Vegan Val

Introduction

Sundried Tomato Vegan Sausages are your ticket to plant-based comfort food with a Mediterranean twist. Brimming with smoky, savory depth from sundried tomatoes, these sausages appeal to vegans, vegetarians, and anyone seeking a meatless option that doesn’t skimp on flavor. Naturally gluten-free and packed with protein, they grill or pan-fry beautifully, making them as versatile for weeknight dinners as for barbecue gatherings.

Flavorful Sundried Tomato Vegan Sausages

The distinctive sun-kissed flavor of sundried tomatoes, paired with herbs and hearty plant proteins, delivers a sausage with robust texture and a vibrant, Italian-inspired taste. By blending cannellini beans or chickpeas with gluten-free oats, smoked paprika, and fresh basil, you’ll craft a sausage that’s both satisfying and a culinary showpiece—without any gluten, soy, or processed meat analogues.

Preparing the Vegan Sausage Mixture

Start by finely mincing your onions, garlic, and rehydrated sundried tomatoes. For efficiency and consistent cuts, the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper makes short work of dicing your vegetables. Pulse your beans, oats, tomato paste, and seasonings in a blender until just combined. The Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender, Black delivers a smooth-yet-chunky consistency ideal for forming sausages.

Let the mixture rest for about 10 minutes; this allows the oats to hydrate, creating a better, more bindable dough.

Shaping and Cooking Your Gluten-Free Vegan Sausages

With clean, damp hands, shape the mixture into sausage links, patties, or even mini breakfast rounds. Lay them on a strip of Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll, 45 Square Feet to prevent sticking during shaping or chilling.

Pan-fry the sausages in a SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch until browned and heated through, or place them in an air fryer for crisp edges and a healthier touch. In the latter case, line the basket with parchment or Air Fryer Paper Liners, 125Pcs, 8” Square by Baker’s Signature to ease clean-up.

Serving Suggestions and Pairings

Serve these vegan sausages piled high in gluten-free buns, alongside a fresh salad, or atop a creamy polenta. For easy storage and lunch-packing, the Bentgo Salad Container – 54 oz Bowl, Khaki Green is ideal for meal prepping and transportation. Drizzle the sausages with tahini, vegan aioli, or a spicy mustard for a little extra pizzazz.

Nutritional Information and Serving Size

This recipe yields 6–8 sausages, each approximately 140–160 calories, with plenty of fiber and protein from the beans and oats. The absence of gluten and minimal oil content make these sausages a wholesome choice for most dietary needs.
