How to Make Vegan BACON! - Delicious, healthier, cruelty-free :D

- Опубліковано 5 гру 2015
- This vegetarian /vegan bacon is made with mushrooms and tastes SO GOOD. It has been a long time since I have eaten real bacon, I stopped eating pigs before I went vegetarian (speciesist I know), but I still remember the taste and this is as good if not better. This meatless bacon recipe is for those of you wanting to avoid harming animals /the environment /your bodies but still enjoy that bacon likeness :)
Sorry for calling mushrooms plants, they are obviously fungi, but it's an easy slip up!
Vegan Mushroom Bacon
- 3 portobello mushrooms - cut about 5mm thick
- 3 tbsp oil
- 2 tbsp bbq sauce OR 1 dash liquid smoke
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp paprika -smoked paprika if you have it
1 tsp garlic salt and 1/2 tsp pepper
- optional 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
Bake at 170c for 20min - take out and flip, then grill for 10min, allow to cool and they will crisp up. keep unused ‘bacon’ in airtight container for up to a week.
I love this in pasta, its great in salads, on pizza, and in samis. The crunchy, salty, sweet, chewy, flavourful pieces are so tasty.
I hope you enjoyed this video ♡

without sounding too dramatic, I think you're kind of changing my life lol I watched Cowspiracy after you recommended it and am slowly starting to make a move toward veganism. These recipes are a great way I can bring my family on the journey too. So yeah, thanks!
+jdan045 That makes me smile so much :D XX
Not dramatic at all : ) Ela's channel definitely played a factor into my decision to become vegan recently : )
+islamicgirl1 are you a muslim too? Funny how im watching a video about bacon :D
+jdan045 lol same, i own a cattle farm and when we harvest the bulls it has the most tender juicy meat ever, but i found my self feeding my meat to the cats!
+Zoya eats cake I would say I am : ) My dad's a big meat eater so I'm looking for vegan "meat" recipes. Cauliflower wings by hotforfood's channel are next!!
i accidentally made this (without the marinade) a couple weeks ago when I burned some mushrooms haha! i was pleasantly surprised because it tasted exactly like bacon. i didnt know that it was an actual recipe!
now you know you were a genius
this is brilliant . I am not even vegan and I would totally do this.
I'm not the only one here!😅 And yes I'm going to try this too!
This is such a great idea for a healthy alternative for bacon!
Yum! All your recipes are so unique and delicious, thank you for sharing them!
you always have the most unique ideas! definetly going to try this:)
400 000 subscribers!! You really deserve it! You're the best😊💞
+lote9922 Thanks love! :) XX

I tried this today and without a doubt , it is the best vegan "bacon" I have tried yet ! Thanks for sharing .
this video makes me happy =D
plus I love how you show all the DIY alternatives to cosmetics, it's great to know how easily we can avoid all the harmful ingredients and even save some money
you are awesome. most times when people add a narrative before or after a recipe I find it so annoying... You are pleasant and to the point. thank you!!! lovely vibes to you!
My boyfriend and I are in the process of becoming vegan and I can't wait to make this for us! :)
+Arria Conant Congrats! It is even better (and easier) to have someone vegan or vegan in the making during the learning curve.
As are my boyfriend and I. This sounds so good can't wait to try. Is the liquid smoke hard to find? I've never seen it before
+Bronte Hannah Chadwick You should be able to find it in any good grocery store ;look in the condiments section. Not only is there hickory smoke flavor, but also mesquite and applewood!
+Arria Conant us aswell. and bacon sure is one of the most difficult foods to put down! haha I'll try this recipe. though, I don't know where I can get liquid smoke where I live.
Dont
Love your videos so much you've inspired me to be healthier 😊😊
I am not vegetarian, but I follow you because your recipes are so original!
I came for another awesome recipe, I stayed for the ridiculously cute way she pronounces Pepper.
i love mushrooms! 💕🍄 I'm definitely going to this out. Thank you 😍
Thank you, tried this tonight and it was fantastic
congrats with the 400k!! :) xxx
Yummy! I'm going to try this! It looks amazing!
This is awesome, looks delicious! Love your vids :) Keep it up!
This recipe was delicious. I only broiled it for 5 minutes because my counter-top oven began smoking at about 4 minutes and at 5 minutes the parchment paper was black. I didn't want to risk losing the batch. I try to minimize my oil consumption so next time I would use less oil. Doubling the recipe was the perfect amount for 3 large Portobello mushrooms. Thank you so much Ela.
I just did these for my lunch today and they were amazing! I can see so many uses for this recipe! thank you so much for sharing it!
I have a batch of the hot dog- carrots soaking in the fridge right now, and I am gonna search for that video where you make some kind of chocolate candy (not as in candy made of chocolate, but as in actually making chocolate) right now :D
+LiWaLystra eh, I can't seem to find the recipe? Am I mixing it up with someone ele's channel maybe? I think it was about making chocolate candy with cocoa and water and some other things, very simple, and then putting them into small silicone forms and let them sit in the fridge/freezer until set. I was so sure it was your channel though, but the only chocolate recipes I can find require store bought chocolate.
I love this recipe! ❤️
That looks like a perfect recipe. I will try it very soon. And you did a great job teaching us all about your wonderful recipe. Thank you 😄💞💦💦💦Keep flowing with nature🌱🌱🌱
Looks so good. Very nice.
sounds great:) will try soon. love your videos. great you turned from vegetarian to vegan:)
Thank you for wonderful recipes. Can you upload more vegan recipes ? The last photo looks tempting
I love your cooking videos!
Oooo.....can't wait to try!! Just found your challenge and subscribed! Thanks!! =)
My husband will love this recipe. Although I'm not a fan of mushrooms I still incorporate them into our meals. Your videos have helped so much since we made the switch to vegan and just wanted to say thanks! ~Jacqueline
+J & J Vlogs Thats so great to hear! :D XXX
You are very creative ..keep inspiring...kindly upload some drugstore musthaves..cheers..
I made this for my lunch for school it was so tasty thank you for sharing 😊
I hate mushrooms so im asking does it taste like mushrooms or is it completely different i might try this😄
+Michelle Rojas it's almost between the two just saying
Arlene Madrid thanks!
Awesome :) Love your nails btw! So long and healthy
How about making Jerky with this recipe Ela? Iv'e tried your hot dog and firm cheese so far and both were great! I love your Mums gardening tips btw.
I just tried this and it was delicious. I may never find a good reason to eat real bacon again. I was skeptical about this, but I figured the worst that could happen is I'd have some crispy mushrooms. I like mushrooms, so that would've been just fine. However, these turned out great. It's not bacon, but it's very close. Sweet, salty, savory. I put mine on bread and had a "bacon" tomato sandwich. Thank u for posting this recipe. Tomorrow, I'll try the carrot "hotdogs".
Not crazy, wonderful! When I was a veggie, BLTs were what I missed the most. You are so clever with your recipes...vegan carrot hotdogs and now this wonderful bacon idea (for those who are sensitive to soy, as I am, there is a good soy substitute, which someone suggested I use for the hotdogs when I make them.) So don't let that stop you.
I'm not vegan, but this is so interesting! Totally going to try this one day, love your recipes Ela. 😍😋
Hey Ela,
Just a quick question,
Im from NZ as well - live in Auckland, Can you advise where you got the Hickory Liquid smoke from?
Thanks in advance and love the recipes - Bring on some more :)
Thanks
K
that looks amazing😍😍
yay i just found youre amazing channel and whrn i found out you are vegan I got so happy!! I'm crazy about your diy beauty videos😘
Next time I go grocery shopping I'll pick up some mushrooms and make this
this is such a good recipe :D
I am not vegan, nor do I ever intend to go vegan, but I am always looking for yummy healthy recipes to try and this looks awesome! I do believe that everyone should try to eat as healthy as possible, and I love how your videos promote healthy living without you coming across as preachy. As an IBS sufferer I am really trying to find my trigger foods and clean up my diet. Although this disease will probably prevent me from going totally vegan, I do enjoy vegan cooking, and I love your videos. I am mostly dairy free, so your channel has been awesome for me. I made your sweet potato fritters the other day and my somewhat picky boyfriend absolutely loved them. I can't wait to try more of your recipes!
your hair looks so cute like this!
even the look of mushrooms makes me want to gag XD
you're so creative with your recipes though!
Thank for recipe.
Fantastic video!!!
PORTABELLA OR MUSHROOMS ARE SO GOOD IT MAKES ME HAPPY
Just popped these in the oven! The mixture literally ran out on the very last slice of mushroom! Amazing ;)
Oh my wow 😍 these are so so good
can also use strips of eggplant for veggie bacon. bake it or dehydrate it. it's all about the spices anyway. will try this version. it sounds good
This sounds so good! my friend is bringing me some liquid smoke back from the states also nutritional yeast and pumpkin spice so i can get my vegan on! :)
This recipe was great! Also I feel the need to point out that I hated mushrooms with a passion beforehand - the taste, texture, smell, everything - and this is the only way I'd be happy eating them. They crisp up really nicely and the marinade is so strong that the mushroom flavour is cancelled out. Just make sure you don't have your mushrooms swimming in the marinade otherwise they'll obviously stay soggy.
I just made this recipe and it is insanely good!! Thanks for sharing!! I ate mine like a "BLT"
Thank you so much for this! I have IBS and cannot digest meat very well especially greasy fatty stuff like pork bacon!
I'll have to give this one a twirl. I've used portabello mushrooms as pizza bases. perfect size for 1 person. I like veggie pizzas so they work out lovely. I'm not vegan but I'm always looking out for delish stuff to try no matter what the diet preference is (I'm diabetic so I have to take that into consideration but this looks awesome)
I am definitely going to try this recipe! It seems as though it would be a lot tastier than the eggplant bacon. Mushrooms have a very meaty texture so I can see this one being the best.
Have you tried storing the soaked but uncooked mushrooms in an airtight container in the frig and cooking them just before you need them? I wonder if it'll work...
We're trying this tonight!
Totes gonna try this sometime!! I'm not vegan, love bacon, but it makes my tum not so happy :c (from the grease) I actually bought a bag of coconut chips that are bacon flavoured recently, and I'm hesitant to try them X'D
WISH ME LUCK THAT THIS WILL GET MY HUSBAND TO EAT MORE VEGGIES
Wow!! Thank you:)
I've done this! It works, its really good! The longer you bake, the more crispy your "bacon".
love your channel..
Could you dehydrate them after marinading and make jerky perhaps?
Can't wait to try this. Thank you for sharing.
Good idea
Love it
Those lines inside the mushroom terrify me 😖
I thought it was just me!😂😂😂😂 It's so.....creepy 😂
+Liddy Smiles ikr😂
Same here
Maybe some sort of trypophobia 😭
You can remove the scales. They are pretty much a dirt trap, and you don't want to run them under water.
this is so cool 😊😊😊😊
One question are you vegan or is this for the vegans that watch you or both and bye I love your homemade things like your salt scrub, lip balm, lip scrub, shampoo, etc. just love all your videos
Thanks I'm trying to lower my cholesterol.... great recipe.... will try.
Gonna try this x
that would go so well with fried rice omg
omg lol I can't wait to try this I would also add some spice into it: D
your channel is so natural! Im actually trying to go vegan and ur videos are very helpful.
Can't wait to try these. Mine will probably be vegan bacon bits :) because I have baby portabellas :)
Yummm
I'm trying this when u get some :)
I'm not vegan but I'm trying to be healthier, and this sounds great. I'm only making this for a salad so I wonder if I can use normal canned mushroom slices.
THANKYOU LOVELY
omg I love you!!!
yummie
bacon isn't allowed to be eaten in my religion, guess its the perfect compromise, thankyou:3
really!!! why???
+cindy511 because its pig meat
+amelia m one animal is so great but the other let's kill it and eat it. yup, makes sense.
Wow the ignorance above 😁 she's probably muslim, in the Quran it doesn't say that a pig is better than the others but it says that pig meat isn't good for you
Nadine - you don't think i know that? i'm just saying that that's fucking stupid. oh, one meat is awful for you but the other dead flesh of an animal is good for you!! LOGIC.
i don't give a fuck what book says what.. taking away something's life just to eat it is fucking retarded.
I'm trying to go for a vegan diet and your videos so help. Thank you
Keep going at it!!! Well done! Have you seen the speech by Gary yurofsky? Or the movie forks over knives
Or earthlings?
YES earthlings is a good one :)
+Bea Weston No i haven't seen or heard those, do you recommend them?
ABSOLUTELY!! It will gather all your thoughts and make you think in a clearer way. Watch "the best speech ever-Gary Yurofsky". Its been translated into just about every language :) Then make sure to watch: Cowspiracy (goes over mainly environmental reasons) Forks over knives (mainly talks health benefits) and also then watch Earthlings (talks mostly ethical reasons). Earthlings was VERY graphic just to warn you, but make yourself sit through it because it will change your views on the world completely!!
great video :) I am a little bit of a speciesist as well :) I am not vegetarian but I try to avoid mammals as much as possible. I havent had rabbit for 12 years (you can imagine why, there was a tragic story of me going to visit my family living in the countryside, who bred rabbits for meat. I was a city kid and only knew rabbits as pets)
Hello;) I have a question. How much food do you throw away for a week?
Congratz on 400,000,00
I live in the uk, I have a fan oven so what would I preheat my oven on and how long do I put them in?
I’m not even vegan but this looks amazing
Omg I have the exact ingredients for these (except the liquid smoke)- this might be do-able!
I love mushrooms so ya this is my favorite food
love your hair
wow :)
Good made with aubergine too. x
you should be cooking For Monks man they would sure love your cooking
you are the best!!!!
+Nia LaLa thanks **
Mmm Mmm, so good, and I made some myself, today, to share with my boyfriend 😘❤
question for ya, how do you get B12 in your diet as a vegan?
You have to use a b12 supplement, or eat fortified foods like cereal everyday. Easier just to take the supplement under you tongue.There are some very reliable ones these days, and it is very inexpensive. Under $10 per year.
Huh. Neat.
This is my first time eating some , my gfs vegan and I must say , tastes pretty damn good !
I make tofu or tempeh bacon as I need that extra little protein due to medical issues. I have made eggplant bacon though.
Your so pretty and I need to try this asap
