@jess.flowers From mushroom grow kit to plant based BLT! Air frying mushrooms helps you get a very crispy result- yet the center remains chewy and meaty. This is my favorite way to prepare mushrooms- and its makes a fantastic sandwich! Thank you @northspore for gifting me the mushroom kits! #growingmushrooms #oystermushroom #slowliving #pinkoystermushrooms #northspore #veganbacon #mushroombacon #veganrecipes #homecooking #gardentoplate ♬ La Vie En Rose - Emily Watts
Notes
You'll get the most bacon-like flavor from pink oyster mushrooms, however this recipe can work with king oyster mushrooms as well!
I grew my mushrooms from a grow kit (which is super easy!) because most grocery stores don't sell pink oyster mushrooms. It's a fun process and worth it for the bacon flavor!
