Vegan Bacon

Method

Vegan Bacon Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegan Bacon

    In a bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, liquid smoke, soy sauce, and maple syrup. Add the sliced tempeh and coat well. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Vegan Bacon

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated tempeh slices and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until crispy. Remove from heat and set aside.

Hash Browns Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Hash Browns

    In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  2. 4

    Cook the Hash Browns

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the potato mixture, spreading it evenly. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 5-7 minutes on the other side. Remove from heat.

Vegan Melt Assembly

  1. 5

    Assemble the Melt

    Toast the slices of bread until golden brown. On one slice, layer the hash browns, followed by the cooked vegan bacon, jalapenos, onion slices, avocado, and top with the vegan cheddar cheese.

  2. 6

    Melt the Cheese

    Place the assembled sandwich in the skillet over low heat, cover with a lid, and cook for about 3-5 minutes until the cheese has melted. Top with the second slice of toasted bread.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Slice the sandwich in half and serve warm. Enjoy your Swipe Right Vegan Melt!
