Vegan Bacon

The BLT, an American classic, can still be enjoyed with this wonderfully flavorful vegan bacon, made with our organic carrots.

Ingredients:

  • 2 medium or large carrots

  • 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup

  • 1 teaspoon liquid smoke

  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste

  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

  • Few shakes black pepper

Instructions:

  • Wash carrots, peel and cut off the ends. Using a wide peeler, peel long thick strips of carrot (these are your bacon strips). Use the wider strips for this recipe. Snack on the smaller ones. 

  • In a medium-small bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the marinade. 

  • Add carrot strips to the marinade and move around to coat in sauce.

  • Let marinate for at least 20 minutes (up to 24 hours).

  • Line large baking pan with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

  • Lay the carrot pieces on parchment lined pan and bake for 10-15 minutes until browned but not burned. Check on them often!

  • Transfer to a cooling rack. Let cool for a few minutes so they can crispen.

  • Serve and Enjoy!!
