Ingredients
- 1 tsp liquid smoke
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp soy sauce substitute or use regular soy sauce
- 1 tsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- ¼ tsp smoked paprika
- 1 ½ cups unsweetened coconut flakes
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add all of the ingredients except for the coconut to a mixing bowl and stir well. Add the coconut flakes to the bowl and stir well to coat.
- Spread the coconut in an even layer on the parchment-lined sheet and bake for about 15 minutes, stirring every 3-5 minutes watching that it doesn’t burn.
- Remove from oven and let cool.
- Store in a sealed container (I use a glass jar) at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
Serving Suggestions and Substitutions
- Crumble these vegan bacon strips on salads or on soups - like this vegan potato soup!
- Add the vegan bacon slices to a tofu scramble, or sandwiches like a vegan BLT.
- Substitute soy sauce, tamari, or liquid aminos instead of the homemade soy-free soy sauce.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
- I love this smart bacon crumbled over eggs- obviously not vegan. ;)
