How to Make Vegan Coconut Bacon

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the liquid aminos, maple syrup, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
  2. Add the large coconut flakes to the bowl and gently toss to ensure all the flakes are evenly coated with the marinade.
  3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably longer (up to 4 hours) to allow the coconut to fully absorb the flavors.
  4. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  5. Spread the marinated coconut flakes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 30-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning; oven temperatures can vary.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet before serving. The coconut bacon will crisp up further as it cools.
