I was standing in line at the fruit store, la frutería, one of my favorite places, and I saw a TON of Jicama. It's native to Mexico so they have it all the time. I added one to my basket. I thought "this would make great vegan bacon" and boom the spark of inspiration was soon turned into Jicama Bacon. A new vegan invention. I'm not sure if it's been done before but it was 100% authentic in thought at that moment and I those are usually divine.

Well my friends... it worked.... you can make bacon from Jicama! It's crispy on the outside and "meaty" on the inside, it's even kind of hard to tear apart. When you bake it, it's extra crispy. I pan-fried them, ate some, then baked the pan-fried pieces later and they got extra crispy. You can serve this with your breakfast, in a BLT, on a sammy, in a wrap, on your salad, soup etc. Let me know how you like it! Enjoy!! ​With love, Christa
