May 26, 2019 by Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine 34 Comments

Making coconut bacon is a lot easier than you think! This how-to tutorial recipe for Easy Vegan Coconut Bacon is gluten-free, allergy-free, paleo, free of store-bought additives, oil-free, and sugar-free! Of all the vegetarian bacon substitutes, this one is all natural and lasts for months, making it a great homemade staple!

Here at Strength and Sunshine, you know we’re big fans of the famous dehydrator eggplant bacon. However, eggplant bacon isn’t a great fit for EVERY recipe that calls for meatless bacon. Coconut bacon, on the other hand, is fit for just about every vegan bacon need. It’s crisp, crunchy, won’t get soggy (like eggplant bacon would), can be sprinkled, piled on, layered in, eaten by the handful, and pretty much lasts forever. Basically, if you don’t have a jar of homemade coconut bacon in the pantry…are you even living?Read More
