Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large king oyster mushrooms
- 12 strips vegetarian bacon strips
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 12 pieces toothpicks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Clean the king oyster mushrooms and trim off the caps. Slice the stems into approximately 1-inch thick pieces to mimic the shape and size of shrimp.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, soy sauce, lemon juice, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Toss the mushroom pieces in the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Allow them to marinate for about 10 minutes.
Wrap each marinated mushroom piece with a vegetarian bacon strip, securing it with a toothpick. Ensure that the ends of the bacon strips are tucked under the mushroom pieces.
Place the vegetarian bacon-wrapped mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the mushrooms are tender.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
