Want To Make Healthy Vegan Bacon? You Need Liquid Smoke

Picture by the author.

I started using liquid smoke back when I was manufacturing Vegan Coconut Bacon out of my basement apartment (that’s my baby above).

This post is for Adrienne Beaumont, who said she’d never heard of liquid smoke — a natural product made from condensing the smoke from burning wood.

While it was originally used by omnivores to give a smoky flavor to meat, the vegan community adopted it to make vegan bacon.

What’s vegan bacon? Delicious, smoky, kind, healthy food.

The key ingredients are a touch of liquid smoke, some tamari sauce, and a couple of other seasonings of your choice.

Try making bacon out of:

  • Coconut
  • Rice paper
  • Eggplant
  • Mushrooms
  • Carrots
  • Starch water
  • Tempeh
  • Tofu

And probably more.

I’ll be posting a recipe tomorrow! Find more food inspiration here.
