A Note from Feedfeed
Warning, once you try this sweet, salty, spicy and crunchy Coconut ‘Bacon’ you’ll need a batch at the ready at all times. It’s that good! Simply Organic Smoked Paprika is key to the flavor here. It lends a gentle heat, a smoky dimension of flavor you can’t get from any other spice, and a lovely sweetness. Simply Organic Smoked Paprika is sourced from peppers grown in the Murcia region of southeastern Spain. These peppers are slowly smoked over an oak wood fire before being stone ground. They spend the time getting that amazing slow-roasted flavor and bottle it up so you can add a dash to everything you make! It's perfect in place of 'liquid' smoke which tends to have an artificial flavor, making it wonderful for vegan and vegetarian dishes to add an extra boost of flavor and smokiness. Be sure to pick up a bottle of Simply Organic Smoked Paprika so you can make a batch of this Coconut Bacon to snack on all summer long! It’s great in salads, on top of sandwiches or eaten by the handful!
