The big recipe everyone is trying this month is “vegan bacon” made from carrots. Earlier this month, TikTok user Tabitha Brown (@iamtabithabrown) shared a short video showing how to make tasty “bacon” in minutes. You’ll need carrots and a vegetable peeler, along with 4 dry ingredients – onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika and pepper. And the wet ingredients – maple syrup and liquid smoke. You’re making a marinade, so the amounts aren’t important, but it is crucial to mix the dry ingredients in a pan or bowl then add the wet ingredients , then the carrot slices making sure the marinade coats all parts of the carrot slices. Let it soak for awhile then air fry the slices at 380F for at least five minutes or until they are crispy.
Some people say it tastes like bacon, others say it doesn’t but it’s a nice savoury snack and a little bit healthier than a lot of other snacks you could be enjoying.
