Carrot Bacon? That’s right! Healthy carrots turned into vegan bacon using my new rice paper bacon marinade! This carrot bacon recipe can be made in under 30 minutes and is a healthier alternative to bacon!
For years, I’ve been making vegan bacon substitutes out of many different veggies and fruit! From my popular rice paper bacon recipe to all the vegan bacon recipes in my cookbook (eggplant bacon, mushroom bacon, and coconut bacon!)

I’m now excited to share my method for cooking carrot bacon! I was first inspired to make this recipe from one of Tabitha Brown’s TikTok videos. Tabitha Brown is sometimes known as the mom of TikTok. Her calming and supportive demeanor perfectly accompanies her healthy, easy, whole foods plant-based recipes. So using the carrot idea, I tweaked my popular bacon marinade for this carrot bacon recipe.

I used my rice paper bacon marinade with some new tweaks I’ve been experimenting with plus Tabitha’s concept to create my own version! Hope you enjoy it!

TIPS FOR AIR FRYER CARROT BACON:
I originally made carrot bacon in the air fryer at 380F for 5 mins following Tabitha Brown but didn’t find it as crispy like I usually like it. The air fryer made the carrot bacon crispy on the outside and softer on the inside. Depending on your specific air fryer, results may vary as I found out. However, I recommend trying to flip halfway through your chosen cook time.
For my method, I recommend air frying your carrot bacon at 350F instead for 10 mins. Lower temperature but longer time dries out the moisture making it extra crispy.
Some pieces will still look like carrot slices, but some pieces will look like crispy bacon. No matter what it looks like, the taste is unbelievably good. Again, it’s a healthy carrot with a marinade that helps it taste like bacon.

If you want crispy carrot bacon, you could try adding salt to the sliced carrot to dry out the moisture as well so that it becomes crispier faster.
