I've been craving some fakin bacon for some time now, so this is what I came up with today. I usually like to use two eggplants and store the extra in the fridge for another day or to crumble on a salad.
This turned out very good!
FAKIN MAPLE BACON
2 eggplants sliced on mandolin
Blend the following ingreds in blender and pour over eggplant to marinate for an hour or two
3/4 c. extra virgin olive oil
1/4 c. apple cider vinegar

Black pepper to taste
spread eggplant on teflex sheets dehydrate @ 105 degrees until crispy

We had the dip with some Salted Flax Cracker's from Ani Phyo's new book. I changed her recipe up a bit and added Chipotle Mrs. Dash and nutritional yeast for a nacho cheese flavor.
