I have nothing against prepackaged vegan sausage – I actually quite like it – but I don’t like feeling like I’m dependent on it if I want to incorporate “sausage” into a meal. If you’re like me, you probably like being able to cook whatever you want without having to heavily rely on manufactured, processed foods. In other words, I’d rather make my own falafel from scratch than hunt the frozen food aisle for a vegan falafel I can microwave or pop in my oven. That’s why I decided to search the Internet high and low, and roundup some of the best homemade vegan sausage recipes out there.
