Spiced And Candied Vegetarian Bacon Recipes

SPICY CANDIED BACON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Mix the chili powder and brown sugar in a shallow bowl.
• Fit a sheet of parchment paper onto a jelly-roll pan.
• Bury each slice of bacon in the chili and sugar mixture; rub both sides to assure the mixture adheres.
• Lay the bacon strips on the prepared pan.
• The bacon strips may be left flat or twisted two or three times by holding each end to make a candied "stick".
• Bake for 30 minutes without turning.
• Always transfer candied bacon using tongs; the hot sugar can easily burn your fingers.

SPICY CANDIED BACON

Steps:

• Combine 1/2 cup brown sugar and 2 1/2 teaspoons gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes) and spread on a plate. Coat one 12-ounce package thick-cut bacon in the sugar mixture, pressing each slice on both sides to adhere.
• Lay the bacon on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 325˚ F, rotating the pan and flipping the bacon halfway through, until the bacon is dark brown and caramelized, 30 to 40 minutes. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds on both sides, then let cool completely to harden.

SPICED AND CANDIED VEGETARIAN BACON

Steps:

• Set your oven at 300*F.
• Mix the chili powder and brown sugar in a bowl, stirring to mix completely.
• Place parchment paper on a baking sheet or spray sheet pan with cooking spray.
• Coat both sides of the bacon well with spice mix. I patted it on.
• Lay the coated bacon on the parchment paper.
• Bake 10-15 minutes(start with 10 minutes, but you may need a few more minutes, depending on what veggie bacon you use). Remove immediately to a plate. My bacon stuck to the paper when I left it to cool and I had to heat it up to unstick it from the paper. The bacon will crisp up as it cools.
• Enjoy!
