In a large bowl, combine the vital wheat gluten, chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, and salt. Mix well.

Add Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vegetable broth, soy sauce, and liquid smoke. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.

Knead the Dough

Knead the dough for about 3-5 minutes until it becomes elastic. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a sausage link.

Wrap and Steam

Wrap each sausage in aluminum foil and twist the ends to seal. Place the wrapped sausages in a steamer basket and steam for 30 minutes.

Prepare the Pommes

While the sausages are steaming, wash and cut the potatoes into fries. Rinse them in cold water, then pat dry with a towel.

Fry the Pommes

Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the potato fries and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

Grill the Bratwurst

Once steamed, remove the sausages from the foil. Preheat a grill and cook the sausages for 5-7 minutes on each side until grill marks appear.

Serve

Serve the grilled vegan bratwurst with the pommes and your choice of side. Enjoy!
