    Make Quick and Easy Coconut Bacon any time you want a salty, sweet, smoky vegan bacon. It's great to add flavor and texture to your plant-based dishes.

    If you haven't tried coconut bacon, this stuff is a must-make.

    It's addicting. It's sweet. It's salty. It's smoky.

    It's not exactly like bacon. But it's very flavorful and definitely healthier.

    Quick and Easy Coconut Bacon

    Ingredient Notes

    • Flaked Coconut: choose unsweetened coconut. You could also do this with shredded coconut, but you will lose the texture.
    • Liquid Aminos: you could also use tamari. Or if you're not gluten-free, use soy sauce.
    • Maple Syrup
    • Liquid Smoke: this is the key ingredient! Don't skip it.

    How to make Coconut Bacon

    Step 1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Step 2. Mix the bacon ingredients in a small bowl.

    Step 3. Spread the coconut onto the baking sheet and bake for 7-10 minutes, until the bacon is brown and crispy. Watch for burning - coconut can go from perfectly done to burnt very quickly!

    Step 4. Let cool completely on the baking sheet. Enjoy!
