Step 1

Start by washing and peeling your carrots, then use a vegetable peeler to thinly slice your carrots into ribbons.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, whisk together all ingredients for the marinade: tamari soya sauce, maple syrup, nutritional yeast, smoked paprika powder, garlic powder, onion powder and ground black pepper.

Step 3

Place the carrot slices into the marinade and stir to evenly coat them. Place the bowl into the fridge and let the carrots marinate for 30 minutes.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 350F (180C) and line 2-3 baking trays with parchment paper. Brush a little oil onto the paper, then place the carrot strips onto the trays in a single layer. Brush or spray with a little more oil.

Step 5

Bake in the middle of the oven for 10 minutes, then flip the carrot slices. Bake for 5-10 more minutes, or until the carrots are golden and the edges crispy and caramelized.

Step 6

Carefully remove the carrot bacon from the parchment paper whilst still warm and enjoy the carrot bacon on a delicious vegan burger or alongside your Sunday brunch.
