Vegan Bacon Substitute Recipes

January 19, 2011 By Kristi

I’m always using these homemade vegan bacon recipes, and instead of telling you how to do them every time, here they are in a separate post. The coconut bacon is best for recipes that call for “strips” of bacon, while the mushrooms are great for bacon bits.

Simple Coconut Bacon
Ingredients
3 large handfuls of bulk coconut
1 tablespoon liquid smoke
2 tablespoon soy sauce/ tamari
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
Directions
Place coconut in a shallow baking pan. Mix other ingredients together and coat coconut well. Cook in preheated 400 degrees F oven until crispy. It will get crispier after it cools. Use in sandwiches or salads as a vegan bacon substitute. May be kept in sealed container for several days.

1 4 oz. can mushrooms (or 1/2 C diced mushrooms)
olive oil
black pepper
hickory bacon salt
Directions
Marinate mushrooms in spices and oil. Spread over cookie sheet and bake at 375F until crispy, about 15 minutes.
