Ingredients
  

  • 2 carrots Best using large carrots you get wider strips
  • 1 tbsp sunflower oil
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp liquid smoke
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce or tamari for GF option
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Mix all the ingredients except the carrots in a bowl.
  • Peel the outer skin of the carrots, then peel long strips out of the carrots.
  • Coat the carrot strips with the marinade made out of all the sauces. Let the carrots marinate for 5 minutes and layout on a parchment-lined tray (essential as they stick like crazy)
  • Preheat the oven to 350F/170°C.
  • Bake the vegan bacon.
  • Times vary so keep watching as they catch quickly, mine took about 20 mins.
  • I cook them for less time if I want a bit of a chewy texture or longer for crispy
  • They do crisp Up after cooling, don’t panic
  • Also, the less time you cook them for, the smokier they taste!

Notes

The vegan carrot bacon is best stored in the fridge and ideally reheated in the oven or eaten cold. It will last for up to 4 days.
