Meatless bacon bits?

Jigga what? Yeah, I went there. meatless bacon bits! Sort of seems sinful to label something to be glorious bacon when it totally isn't! I thought this was one of the most interesting recipes I've tried, though!

"Bacon bits" 

-3 cups unsweetened flakes coconut

•     2 Tbsp Soy Sauce
•     2 Tbsp Molasses
•     2 Tbsp Liquid Smoke
•     1 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
•     1 Tbsp Cider Vinegar

Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, a silicon pad or spray with pan spray.
Step 2
Whisk together soy sauce, molasses, liquid smoke, olive oil and vinegar. Add Bob’s Red Mill Coconut Flakes and mix well. Let sit for 10 minutes so the coconut absorbs all the liquid.
Step 3
Spread coconut in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 4
Bake at 325°F until deeply toasted, about 15 – 20 minutes. Stir often! (About every 3 – 5 minutes.)
Step 5
Let “bacon” bits cool completely then store in an airtight container. They can easily be re-crisped in a low oven for 5 minutes.
Great for salads, baked potatoes, mixed with popcorn or put into snack mixes!
