Unbacon Instructions
- Take a clean daikon and peel of the outside. Now start to take the peeler and peel thick strips. If you are unable to get thick enough strips like a bacon slice simply take your knife and cut thin strips. Lay them on a pan with parchment paper and sprinkle them with sea salt to bring out the water.
- Next in a bowl add all the marinade ingredients. You can use the coconut aminos alone or if you don't have that you can make a marinade with miso paste and water.Add the garlic, nutritional yeast, avo oil and sweetener of choice.
- Marinate the strips in the bowl for around 15 minutes while you make the salad portion.
- In a pan add avocado oil and let heat on medium for a few minutes. Then place the marinated strips in the pan and allow them to shrink up and resemble bacon slices.Add them onto the salad plate.
Baked Sweet Potato Slices
- Clean and slice your sweet potato.
- Preheat the oven to 375 and place the slices on a pan with parchment paper. Sprinkle with sea salt and avocado oil.
