So, do I have your attention? My husband was watching cooking videos on You Tube the other day and saw this. It is interesting. This is the recipe I used, but there are many if you Google coconut bacon. I let it sit for a bit before I sealed it in a container, and they did crisp up a bit more. The recipe gives you the option to adjust the smoke flavor to taste. So, they do not really taste like bacon, but if you want a nice smoky, crunchy replacement for bacon bits in a salad or in eggs or something these will do the trick. Picture below the recipe
