Vegan Bacon
Yes...a protocol friendly "bacon" recipe! My daughter is a vegan and a wonderful cook. She made this for me a few nights ago by adjusting the original recipe to work with our dietary parameters.
This is SO good that I couldn't stop going back for more. Would be delicious in salads, omelets, and lettuce wraps / sandwiches. These little pieces taste really good to just eat straight off the pan too!
The key to making this recipe is something called "Coco Aminos" which are amino acids made from coconut. I checked the ingredient list and it seemed like everything in it would be ok for our diets...but...just to make sure I waited a few days to see if I would have a reaction...I didn't.
I'm including a picture of the ingredients...so...anyone interested would have a chance to check it out before buying a bottle. Hopefully this happy little discovery will work for others too. This bottle came from Sprouts...it was by the soy sauce, but my daughter said she's seen it at other stores like Kroger as well.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons of Coco Aminos
1 teaspoon of coconut oil
a few drops of stevia sweet drops...I think I added about four or five drops
dash of onion powder
dash of garlic powder
1 cup of large flaked coconut
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 and grease a cookie sheet with coconut oil or line it with parchment paper (better).
Mix the first five ingredients in a bowl and then add the coconut.
Stir it well to make sure the coconut is evenly coated and then let it sit for about ten minutes.
Spread the coconut evenly on the pan and put in oven.
It doesn't take very long to cook...maybe 5 to 8 minutes...but watch it and shake the pan or stir it around about halfway through.
If you're planning on using these for another recipe, then good luck not eating all of these delicious tidbits off the pan first.
Enjoy! |
