No, this coconut bacon doesn’t taste like real bacon. It tastes so much better! And it’s cruelty-free. These smoky, salty, crispy and slightly spicy coconut bits are perfect for topping your salads, pasta and other dishes.

Vegan coconut bacon is so fast and easy to make and so effortless to turn into disaster. Keep an eye on it at all times cause it takes seconds to burn everything. Aim for just slightly brown color. And you’ll be rewarded.

Preheat oven to 325°F.

In a mixing bowl whisk together soy sauce, maple syrup, liquid smoke and spices. Add coconut flakes and gently stir to coat everything evenly.

Spread onto a non-stick baking mat or greased baking tray.

Bake for 10-12 minutes stirring it every 3-4 minutes. Keep an eye on your coconut bacon at all times so it won’t burn.

Remove from the oven and let it cool. Store in air-tight container.
