Bacon is such a magical ingredient. Its salty, fatty, smokey flavor lights up your taste buds like no other. But many of us would love to have the flavor but skip on the whole meat thing. Coconut bacon is an amazing alternative! It captures that salty, fatty, smokey flavor you are craving, but it’s completely vegan! This recipe is super quick to prepare. I love to prepare a nice sized batch and keep it in my fridge to add to sandwiches, soups, and salads all week.
