Heat 1 cup of water, 2 tablespoons oil, 1 tablespoon smoked paprika, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon liquid smoke in a saucepan.
Once it comes to a boil, turn it off and pour in 1 1/2 cups of TVP and stir, coating the TVP in the broth.
Spread onto a cookie sheet and place in the oven at 225°F (107° C) for about 45 minutes.
Give them a little stir or shake the tray every 10-15 minutes while in the oven to make sure they cook evenly.
Notes
Keep them in an airtight container in the fridge, they will last about a month.
If you want them to be lower in sodium, simply reduce the salt.
Make sure to shake the cookie sheet or give a little stir a few times while baking to make sure they cook evenly.
You can also substitute Butler soy crumbles instead of TVP. These are very similar, but they are made with whole soy instead of soy flour.
If you taste them before they are done cooking, they will taste different than the finished product, so don't toss them out thinking that they are not done.
