Everyone loves bacon! And who wants to hurt a cute little pig to have some? I don’t!!! This recipe for Portobello Mushroom Bacon makes it possible. I found this amazing recipe for bacon made with Portobello Mushrooms, modified it slightly, as usual, and am so happy to share it with you!
Its such an easy recipe to make and the taste is wonderful. It has that smoky sweet flavour that we love in bacon. I made one batch, ate most of it before my husband got home…oops I forgot to share. So I’m making a second batch right now. Its that easy!!!
Here is how you can make your own Vegan Portobello Mushroom Bacon…..

Portobello Mushroom, washed, patted dry and sliced into 1/4″ slices, ready to for the marinade. 1 T coconut oil
- Four large Portobello mushroom – washed and patted dry

- 1 t salt
- Pepper to taste
Method to make:
- In a bowl combine the liquid smoke, maple syrup, salt, and pepper.
- Cut the mushroom into thin strips, about a ¼ of an inch thick

Mushroom strips in marinade. Soak for about 45 stir to be sure you get equal coverage. Place mushroom strips in the marinate and soak for about 45 minutes, turn often to be sure all the pieces are getting covered

I made myself a Vegan BLT – toasted my favourite bread, spread Vegenaise on both slices. Topped with lettuce and juicy tomatoes and lots of Portobello Mushroom Bacon. It was so good. Thinking of making another one soon!!
