This curry tofu salad is such a simple recipe to make. It only takes 15 minutes of your time to prep. I like to let it sit for at least an hour before diving in. This isn’t mandatory, I just find that letting the marinade really takes things up a notch in flavor town. By the way, here is the curry powder I used.

This recipe yields 4 servings. Share with others or get creative and enjoy it in 4 different ways. Pile it in between 2 slices of bread, serve on top of a hefty green salad, eat as is, or use it as a dip with crackers.

Speaking of crackers, if you want to go the curry tofu salad dip route. Use my Salt & Pepper Almond Pulp Cracker Bread recipe.

Prefer to make things a tad more hearty? Stir in some (cooked) chopped red or yukon gold potatoes.

You ever found yourself craving the taste of bacon you can’t get your bacon fix because coconut bacon, tofu bacon, or carrot bacon just doesn’t cut it? Well, this cremini bacon has the perfect “meaty” texture and taste to fit the bill.

Now, why so much stress and joy over bacon?!

The Stress: I’ve heard many folks say that it’s one of the hardest things to give up when transitioning to a plant-based diet.

The Joy: Finally, a guilt-free bacon alternative that’s easy to make and can practically be eaten with everything (hmmm even desserts?)

I was so excited to make this cremini bacon the other day, I recorded the process…at night…under the not-so-video-friendly yellow kitchen lights…yeah, it was that serious.

Super simple to make, guys!

6 ingredients, approximately 45 minutes.  A pound of cremini mushrooms, olive oil, Braggs liquid aminos, water, black pepper, and I cheated a tiny bit by using liquid smoke for the smoky flavor.

When I took these out of the oven and let them sit for a bit, they transformed into perfectly crispy little bites of heaven.

So Good!

I even put them on top of my pizza the next day!

After you have finished snacking on these right out of the oven, be sure to store them in an air-tight plastic container with a couple of paper towels.

How To Make Crimini Bacon - A Vegan Bacon Alternative

These Cremini Bacon bits are smoky, crispy, and addictive. They serve as the perfect compliment to breakfast, pizza, sandwiches, burgers, soups, and salads!

Course How-To

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 35 minutes

Total Time 45 minutes

Ingredients

• 3 tbsp water
• 3 tbsp liquid aminos or use coconut aminos
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 tsp liquid smoke
• 1/2 tbsp cracked black pepper
• 1 pound cremini mushrooms (thinly sliced)

Instructions

• Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a bowl, whisk together the first 5 ingredients. Set aside.
• Slice mushrooms very thin (approx. 1/8 inch) and add to marinade. Use hands and toss to coat. Set aside for 10 minutes.
• Spray 1-2 large sheet pans with oil and lay mushrooms in a single layer (none overlapping)
• Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and stir mushrooms around. You will notice that the mushrooms have lots plenty of moisture. This is good because they are on their way to crispy!
• Turn oven down to 200 degrees and bake mushrooms for another 10-15 minutes.
• Remove from oven when crispy, but not burnt. They will continue to crisp up a bit while they sit on the sheet pan.
• When cool, pat dry with paper towel. (Optional: with a large knife, cut to the size of bacon bits).
• Storefor up to 1 week in an air-tight container with a couple of paper towels.

Notes

NOTE: This cremini bacon will lose its super crispy texture after almost 2 days. Still "bacon-y" and delicious!
