With carrot bacon AND tempeh bacon, this Vegan BLT is full of both flavor and nutrition! A healthier version of the classic, keep it oil-free with my Aquafaba Mayo. For a gluten-free BLT, use your favorite GF bread, and use tamari in the marinade. TIP: For simplicity I opted to bake the carrots and tempeh together, but if you have an air fryer and want to try Tabitha Brown's method for extra crispy carrot bacon, check out her easy instructions in this YouTube video.
