This vegan Eggplant Bacon recipe takes all the flavor and crispiness of bacon and packs it into thinly sliced eggplant!
INGREDIENTS
- 2 medium eggplant
- 2 Tablespoons soy sauce 30 mL, or tamari for GF option
- 1 Tablespoon toasted sesame oil 15 mL
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil 15 mL
- 1 teaspoon pure maple syrup 5 mL
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice 5 mL
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon each salt,
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon vegan Worcestershire sauce
INSTRUCTIONS
-
Prep: Preheat air fryer or oven to 300 degrees F (150 C). Cut eggplants into quarters lengthwise, then thinly slice into long strips resembling bacon (about 1/8 inch thick, a mandolin slicer makes this easier).
-
Flavor: In a small bowl, stir to combine all remaining ingredients. Liberally brush onto both sides of eggplant slices.
-
Cook: If air frying, place bacon in a single layer in your air frying pan and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, until dry and browned. If baking, place on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until dry and browned.
