Servings: 2 people
Calories: 78.73kcal
Ingredients
- 1 large carrot
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp tahini
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1.5 tsp maple syrup
- 1.5 tsp liquid smoke
Instructions
- First, cut the ends off of your carrot.
- Then, if the skin is particularly rough, peel the skin, otherwise just give it a good scrub under warm water.
- Next, slice it really thin, just a few millimeters thick.
- You want to aim to cut it as thin as a normal slice of streaky bacon.
- Whisk together the oil, tahini, soy sauce, maple syrup and liquid smoke.
- Taste and adjust the marinade until you have the perfect bacon marinade.
- Lay the strips of carrot into the marinade so that they are completely covered.
- Leave them to rest in the marinade for 30 minutes.
- In the meantime, pre-heat your oven to 200 C / 400 F / gas mark 6.
- Line a baking tray with grease proof paper then place the strips of carrot onto the tray. (Make sure you leave a gap between the carrot strips, you don't want them to overlap.)
- Cook the carrot bacon in the oven for 15 - 20 minutes or until they are the perfect amount of crispy!
