Instructions
Make the Dough:
Prepare Coconut Bacon:
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). In a bowl, mix coconut flakes with soy sauce, maple syrup, smoked paprika, liquid smoke, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and bake for 10–12 minutes, tossing halfway through, until golden and crisp. Let cool.
Preheat Oven:
- Increase oven to 450°F (230°C) and place your pizza stone or baking sheet inside to preheat.
Notes
- Short on time? Use store-bought vegan pizza dough to cut prep time.
- Spice it up: Add jalapeños or a drizzle of sriracha.
- Make it gluten-free: Use a gluten-free crust and tamari instead of soy sauce.
- Storage: Coconut bacon keeps in an airtight jar for up to a week—great for salads too!
