There are a number of varieties of bacon out right now. You've got turkey bacon (yum!), Canadian bacon, thick-cut bacon, smoked Maplewood bacon, and of course you have your good ol' "bacon" bacon, lol. But I have never heard of, nor would I ever want to taste anything called "carrot bacon."
Until now, that is. I want some!
With over 12.7 million views and 2.7 million likes, vegan cook Tabitha Brown's TikTok recipe video has gone viral for one of her latest creations, carrot bacon.
Now, all you bacon lovers out there, I know what you're thinking: "There is no way in H*LL this can be good. There's no way this could ever replace the saltiness, crunch, and pure joy I get from eating my pork bacon."
Well, think again, my friends.
Brown's recipe has been able to simply capture all the flavor of bacon while cutting out all of the harmful fat that is usually associated with pork. Don't believe me? Check out her video below:
Brown went vegan after watching the Netflix documentary What The Health, but it also helped curb her chronic pain.
She reminds me of one of your aunties, the cool auntie--you know the one. The one who's jazzy, a little quirky, but she makes so much sense and who you can tell all your secrets to that you can't tell your mama. Yep, that one.
She tells it like it is, smiles, and says... "because that's my business" a lot. You gotta love her!
"I’m about to make carrot bacon uh-huh," Brown starts the video and proceeds to peel strips of carrots. "Now you've got a few strips, but if you want more than this, then do that because that's your business."
“Take it out and baby you got some bacon. Now let's check the crunch. Listen real good," Brown says while munching and crunching on her homemade recipe.
"Thank the Lord," she says. "Thank the Lord for some carrot bacon."
