Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Coconut sugar or brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Liquid smoke flavoring
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine the kosher salt, smoked paprika, nutritional yeast, onion powder, garlic powder, and sugar. Stir until evenly distributed.
Add the liquid smoke flavoring in small drops to the dry mixture. Stir thoroughly after each drop to ensure the liquid is absorbed evenly and doesn’t clump.
Continue mixing until the liquid smoke is fully incorporated and the mixture has a uniform consistency.
Once combined, spread the mixture on a plate or small baking sheet to air dry for 10-15 minutes, ensuring there is no remaining moisture.
Transfer the dried bacon salt to an airtight container or spice jar for storage.
Use as a seasoning to add bold, smoky, bacon-like flavor to plant-based dishes, roasted veggies, or even popcorn.
