What You’ll Need To Make It

  • Coconut flakes
  • Tamari
  • Liquid smoke
  • Maple Syrup
  • Smoked Paprika

How To Make Coconut Bacon

  1. Preheat the oven to 350º F.
  2. Line a cookie or baking sheet with some parchment paper.
  3. Mix together everything but the coconut flakes in a small bowl.
  4. In a medium sized bowl, add the coconut flakes.
  5. Pour the sauce over the coconut and gently stir or toss until they are completely coated.
  6. Spread the coconut evenly on the cookie sheet.
  7. Bake for 12 minutes. Stir the coconut flakes about halfway through the cook time.
  8. Remove and let cool before enjoying!

Chef’s Tips

  • Check your coconut bacon about once a minute after stirring halfway through the cook time. They make take a little less than 12 minutes, so be sure to pull them out when they look browned and crispy.
  • You can store these in the freezer if you’d like to keep extra. Just let them thaw at room temperature, and they will be just as crispy as when you first made them!
