Once upon a time, we went to a magical land called Los Angeles, and there we had some magical vegan bacon at Real Food Daily. Ever since then, I have been trying to recreate that yummy non-piggy-ness!
This was my latest attempt at tempeh bacon.
I don't have the The Real Food Daily Cookbook: Really Fresh, Really Good, Really Vegetarian
, but I think I should work on getting it, cuz I'm just not there yet in terms of taste.

I used my special measuring spoons to get the amounts just right.
Here's the bacon cooking in my new stainless cookware I grabbed on the cheap at a garage sale (yay!) The bacon came out ok, but wasn't amazing or bacony. Any tips?
The mediocrity didn't stop use from enjoying some BLTs on sprouted grain bread!

Did you marinate it overnight? I steam the strips first, make a marinade with soy sauce and liquid smoke and spices, and marinate overnight. Then I bake it at a high heat, like 400 or 450 for about 20 minutes. It gets super bacony!
Nooo...it sounds like I used a very underachieving recipe!
I slice mine up; then marinate it over night in:
vegan worsteschire sauce, tamari, liquid smoke, maple syrup and a little hot sauce (because I like a little kick).

marinating overnight and baking at high heat definitely do the trick. also, some oil in your marinade, olive or coconut, for a good crispy/fatty bacony texture.
I could still go few one of those BLTs...I'd like to try this too, even mediocre!
