3 ingredients. 30 minutes. No oink. Let’s get it.

These baked shiitake mushroom slices are reminiscent of the thin, crispy, bacon my Dad made as a kid. Each slice is subtly chewy, golden brown, and laden with salty juices.

Use mushroom bacon like you would nutritional yeast – on top of everything. Perfect on top of mac n cheeze, homemade VLT (vacon + lettuce + tomato), tofu scramble, and a secret dish we have coming out for you in a couple of days (hint: it rhymes with rasta & ballad).

Basically, mushroom bacon is a welcomed addition to pretty much everything!

Enjoy your pig-free bacon eating, everybody!
