How to Make Banana Peel Bacon | Vegan Bacon Recipe | We Tried It

[krissy]

NO!!!! From someone who owns a banana plantation.. and clearly what you have there is a cavendish banana which is widely exported type of banana to the us. Now since it is exported, we spray TONS of chemicals for it not to ripe on the trip. We also put a special type of medicine on the black tip to make sure of its quality once it hits stores.. BASICALLY, IT IS NOT SAFE TO EAT. I dont know if this vid is for vegans or just out of curiousity but this is a veeeery bad idea. Good luck to your bowels.

Oh and btw, cooking it or exposing it to heat wont remove the unedible chemicals/medicine we spray on bananas for export.

I am so much a bacon man i wouldnt think of replacing bacon with this but i would say anything posted up a a bacon recipe has to be worth tasting. I think from your reaction maybe it would be better suited as a chip style dish with some form of dipping sauce.

Thank you for your honesty. I lived for 5 years in central america (Famous banana republics) and not once did i see them use the banana peels as something edible, let alone as bacon.

i even googled "Uso de las cascaras de bananas" and all results pointed to things like face masks, fertilizer and the closest thing to something edible was a banana peel tea, as a matter of fact most of the serious articles say that you should not eat the bananas peels due to the heavy pesticides that are used in plantations and can't be removed with water and even the US Department of Agriculture intervenes when the amounts of pesticide are higher than the stablished (In other words there is always pesticide residue, safe to consume but only if you want to take that risk).

I thought it was odd that the marinade included brown sugar and maple syrup, suuuper sweet. Especially since the peel is already sweet. I might try this and skip those ingredients. We use tons of bananas, we peel and freeze, so we have alot of peels.

POV: ur looking fr a recipe we’re the banana bacon doesn’t look burnt,

[markchamberlain]

I think your supposed to use a much riper black spotty peel, every recipe I've seen says it tastes nasty if its not ripe enough....

[Nuthd]

To get rid of the chew, get REALLY ripe bananas and do a better job at scraping the insides.

[Passionforfoodrecipes]

You're not going to fool anybody with that, but it's better than I expected..

Honestly, just to stop throwing away the peels I'd do this.

[vidaongsiako]

Thanks for sharing 👍 won't bother making it now.

I mean no one is ever going to mistake these for real bacon, but very creative for something we usually throw away. I've made eggplant bacon before and while yes, nothing replaces real bacon, it's a nice healthier option during the week.

Maybe if I was stranded on a tropical island without pigs, hahahah

You should use ripe banana skins. All health benefits in a banana are at their highest when the skins start to blotch. Green banana has dew health benefits

[dustinshepherd]

It's not vegan if there's bacon in it even if it's baking grease

[samay]

I'm not rich enough to feed all the kids in my basement actual bacon so this will do :)

[cmmartinez]

Totally Agree...”Don’t F With My Bacon 🥓!”

[Miguel_Barajas]

It tastes better when the peels are more on the brown side

[garth]

Real bacon in America you make me laugh!!!!

[emilyeah]

OMG, first you say you don't normally eat organic banans... then you pour MSG all over your meal. I just died.

[charliesmith]

How can i save banana skins over a couple of days to stop them going bad
