How to Make Spiced And Candied Vegetarian Bacon

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons chili powder and 1/4 cup brown sugar until well combined.
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  4. Gently toss the vegetarian bacon slices in the spice mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated.
  5. Arrange the coated bacon slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until crispy and desired level of crispness is achieved. Watch closely to prevent burning.
  7. Remove from oven and immediately transfer the bacon to a wire rack to cool. This prevents sticking.
  8. Allow the bacon to cool completely; it will crisp up further as it cools.
  9. Enjoy your delicious, spiced candied vegetarian bacon!
