We combined our love for breakfast potatoes and cruelty-free bacon to create this meatless sweet potato “bacon” recipe. This recipe joins our list of vegetarian bacon, which consists of coconut “bacon” bits, easy-to-make rice paper “bacon,” and raw, deyhydrated eggplant “bacon.” We recommend serving with waffles, egg-free scrambles, pancakes or biscuits, plus a bowl of fresh fruit!
