Ingredients

For the lye bun

  • 8 ounces  king oyster mushrooms
  • 3 tbsp canola oil
  • 1 tsp real maple syrup 
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper (optional)

Instructions

  • First, slice the king oyster mushrooms as thinly as possible, to about 1/6th inch slices.
  • Next, preheat oven to 400F degrees. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • Meanwhile, the oven is preheating, add the canola oil, salt, maple syrup, and smoked paprika to a bowl.
  • Next, combine the ingredients. Taste and adjust the ingredients as needed.
  • Brush and evenly coat the mushroom pieces.
  • Then, lay each mushroom piece onto the parchment paper, leaving space in between each piece (do not crowd).
  • Bake for 25 minutes, flipping at 15 minutes.
  • Finally, remove mushroom bacon slices from the oven and allow the pieces to crisp up for at least 5 minutes before serving. This will allow the bacon to further firm up.
  • Serve.
