Get the Recipe: Coconut Bacon

No ratings yet

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons tamari, or soy sauce
  • ½ teaspoon pure grade A maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • a pinch cayenne pepper, optional
  • 2 cups unsweetened coconut flakes, or chips (not shredded and I usually buy the Trader Joe's or Let's Do Organic brand)
  • cooking oil spray

Equipment

  • sheet pan

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • In a medium bowl, mix all of your ingredients except for the coconut flakes. Once mixed, then lightly fold the coconut into the liquid. I try to not stir too hard because I like for my flakes to be in big pieces or chunks.
  • Once the coconut appears to have absorbs all of the liquid, then line a sheet pan with parchment paper and spray it lightly with cooking oil spray. Spoon and spread the mixture evenly onto the baking sheet. Discard any excess liquid in your bowl.
  • Now, let me caution you. Coconut bacon can burn easily. So with that being said, I usually bake it on the center rake for about 6 to 8 minutes give or take and I stir it once or twice as I check on it. It will be ready once the edges get a golden brown color.
  • Once done, allow to cool and store them in an air tight container. They will lose some of their crispness after a few days.
