These vegan ribs are a showstopper. I made these ribs for one of my closest, pickiest friends. She is someone that will tell you the real, really quickly. Not to my surprise, she absolutely loved these ribs! And for that reason, they are absolutely the meal to bring to any vegan skeptic because they are mind-blowingly flavorful and “meaty.” I also strongly suggest this recipe to anyone struggling during a vegan transition.
