How do you make mushrooms taste like bacon? It’s all about the spices and a method that gets them crispy and caramelized!

The smokiness comes from liquid smoke and smoked paprika while tamari adds a salty kick maple syrup a subtle sweetness and black pepper has that classic texture of peppery bacon.
