  • Vegetable oil 
  • Soy sauce (or tamari if gluten-free)

How To Make Coconut Bacon:

  • Mixing with some vegan mayo and making a vegan BLT

    Hi Rose, I made your recipe yesterday with some substitutions because I did it on a whim. But it turned out fantastic anyway. Your tips and the recipe are great!

Thank you very much.💝
