Quick Crispy Shiitake Bacon | Minimalist Baker Recipes
Shiitake bacon is crispy smoky and completely meat-free. It’s a delicious way to top a salad burger or even pasta. If you’re a meat-free person or just trying to cut down on your meat intake this vegan recipe is a great way to get that smoky sweet flavor.
While simple in concept this dish is all about the spices and the method. You simply saute the mushrooms with the spices and then bake them to dry them out a bit until they resemble bacon. If you want to leave out the sugar simply leave out the maple syrup and add a tiny drop of maple extract instead. Or if you don’t care for the maple syrup you can just leave it out.
To be clear this mushroom “bacon” is smaller and slightly different in texture than the fatty strips most people are familiar with but it will quickly become one of your favorite treats. Make it for brunch or as a quick snack throughout the day.
