Recipe type: Breakfast
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 2 cups
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp soy sauce or tamari (if you don't want it highly salty, I recommend a reduced-sodium soy sauce or tamari, or you could use less sauce.
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp tahini
- ¼ tsp paprika
- ½ tbsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper
- ¼ tsp liquid smoke
- 2 large carrots, peeled
Instructions
- In a blender or medium-sized bowl, whisk together soy sauce, olive oil, maple syrup, tahini, paprika, garlic powder, pepper and liquid smoke. Set aside the mixture in a bowl.
- Use a vegetable peeler, and peel the carrot from end to end, to create bacon-like strips.
- Add the strips to the bowl with the marinade, and allow to marinate for at least 15 mins. The longer the better.
To cook in an air fryer: In batches cook at 350F for 10 mins.
To cook in an oven: Preheat oven to 400F. Bake carrots on a lined baking sheet for 10-15 minutes flipping halfway through. Depending on your oven, definitely check on them every 5 mins incase they start to burn or be too well done. The best would be to do them in an airfryer but wanted to give you an oven option as well.
