Recipe Review

Queezle_Sister from Salt Lake City, UT

Its not bacon. But you might be able to fool someone, and its really easy to prepare.

I've seen these vegan faux bacon recipes for a while, and finally decided to try it (looking forward to BLT season if only my tomatoes would ripen!). This recipe used only soy sauce, liquid smoke, and maple syrup. It looked like a pretty soupy mess before I put it into the oven, but came out nice. It needed more like 15 minutes for me, and I turned my oven off and left it in the cooking oven for an additional 2 minutes.

This has rapidly become my daughter's favorite snack food, but my vegan friends at work were not as impressed.

I'm so glad to read of your experience. I read this blog entry some time back and thought it was a brilliant idea and then forgot about it. Would it work in a savory scone do you think?

Hi Kateq. It might work. Some of the tasters thought it was a bit sweet, but to me I didn't find it sweet at all. I think it would be brilliant on a spinach or kale salad, and probably fine for baking, too. I'd love to hear (read) about your experiences if you decide to go for it.

One thing is for sure - much less kitchen mess than bacon. And I think healthier.
