Cuisine: vegetarian
Serves: 1 cup
Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsweetened flaked coconut (not shredded)
  • 1 T liquid aminos, soy sauce or Tamari
  • 1 T maple syrup
  • ½ T liquid smoke (any flavor, I used Hickory)
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
Instructions
  1. Heat oven to 325. Combine liquid aminos, maple syrup, liquid smoke and smoked paprika in a medium bowl. Add coconut flakes and stir to thoroughly coat the coconut flakes with the liquid mixture.
  2. Pour onto a large baking sheet and spread out the mixture evenly.
  3. Bake for 15-20 minutes, tossing every 5 minutes with a spatula so the coconut bakes and browns evenly. Keep an eye on it and be sure to toss it as it can burn fast.
  4. Let cool, then store in an air tight container.
  5. Serve anywhere you'd normally sprinkle crumbled bacon pieces.
