Super-Simple Coconut Bacon

We’re definitely not the first food blog to post a recipe for coconut bacon, and I doubt we will be the last.  However, I still meet people on a daily basis (both vegans and non-vegans) who have no idea this delicious creation exists, so here we are!

Because NO ONE should have to live without bacon…not even vegans.  After all, the desire to save animals from unnecessary harm doesn’t change our taste in food, and lucky for us there are about a billion ways to make this crispy smoky treat that don’t include someone having to die!  It’s a pretty awesome freakin’ world we live in, isn’t it? 😉

This coconut bacon is awesome in tofu scrambles and pasta dishes, on salads and wraps, and even straight from the pan – just try to resist; I dare you.

You should go make this coconut bacon RIGHT NOW. 🙂 Then, you should tell us all the tantalizing ways you chose to use it by tagging #PlantPowerCouple on Facebook.  Enjoy!
