Serves: Many!
Ingredients
  • Coconut Bacon:
  • 4½ cups flaked unsweetened coconut
  • 3¼ tsp tamari
  • 3 tbsp liquid smoke
  • 1½ tbsp real maple syrup
  • ⅛ tsp salt
  • The Rest:
  • Just Mayo (or other vegan mayo)
  • bread or buns
  • Sliced tomatoes
  • chopped lettuce
  • pepper (optional)
Instructions
  1. In a large bowl quickly whisk together your tamari, liquid smoke, maple syrup and salt. Once combined add in your flaked unsweetened coconut and stir it well until all pieces are completely covered. Let it sit for about 10-15 minutes and preheat your oven to 300F while you wait.
  2. Line a large baking sheet (or two depending on what will fit in your oven) with parchment and pour the coconut onto the sheet. Spread it out as well as you can in an even layer.
  3. Bake it for about 15 minutes tossing it after every 5 minutes. Watch that it doesn't burn. Remove it from the oven where it will continue to crisp up.
  4. Allow it to completely cool before placing what you won't be using in your mason jars and freezing. Of course leave some out for your sandwiches!
  5. To assemble this super yummy sandwich, grab some bread, add some Just Mayo, lettuce, sliced tomatoes and top with coconut bacon.
