Ingredients

• 500 grams Brussels sprouts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Liquid smoke
• 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon Tamari or soy sauce
• 1 cup Coconut flakes
• 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons Onion powder

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Clean the Brussels sprouts by trimming the ends and removing any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Cut them in half.

Step 3

In a large bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated.

Step 4

Spread the Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet in a single layer, cut side down. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes, or until they are golden and crispy.

Step 5

While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, prepare the vegan bacon. In a small bowl, mix liquid smoke, maple syrup, tamari or soy sauce, nutritional yeast, paprika, and onion powder until well combined.

Step 6

Add the coconut flakes to the bowl with the bacon seasoning mixture and toss until all flakes are well coated.

Step 7

Spread the coconut bacon in a single layer on a separate baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 5-7 minutes, checking regularly to ensure it doesn't overcook or burn. The flakes should be crispy and have a deep golden brown color.

Step 8

Remove the Brussels sprouts and coconut bacon from the oven. Gently toss them together in a serving dish.

Step 9

Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the mixture, if desired, to enhance the flavor and texture.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious vegan Brussels sprouts with bacon!
