Making Incredibly REALISTIC BACON from Broccoli

Making Incredibly REALISTIC BACON from Broccoli!! I'm bringing back the vegan bacon series with a bang!! Broccoli bacon!! I had this idea after I was reminiscing over some older videos and I was making dinner wondering how to prepare the broccoli and not waste the stems. I usually just cube them up and steam them with the rest of the broccoli but I thought I wonder if I could turn them into bacon... and Im so glad I tried!!

The advantage of using broccoli is that you can still honestly call it a BLT.

Simple charred broccoli is already amazing so I bet this is over the top!

Loved how you brought it back to your older style of video where you talk on camera more conversationally. Hope to see more of this!

I do tofu bacon. I use the typical "bacon" marinade, then dehydrate the tofu until its jerky. You can refrigerate it and eat it that way as a jerky snack or throw it in a pan with some oil and it's cooks into a really good bacon

One of my favroite side dishes recently is brocolli tossed in avocado oil with indian spices like garam masala and turmeric and roasted in an oven. Super simple and tasty and healthy. Will definitely try this recipe.

love this as a 0 waste solution! broccoli stem can be discared but imagine making broccoli 'cheddar' soup with this bacon as a topper! perfect 👌🥦

I’m gonna try this. Someone said to peel broccoli stems and eat them. I am now a freaking addict. It is so good. It really has as flavor of like a radish, but without the spiciness.

Haven't watched this channel in a bit. This guy looks fantastic. I mean, he never looked BAD, but he looks fit as hell. Obviously taking great care of himself. Way to go!

BROCCOLI BACON!?! I'm so intrigued

[ghosttheoremproductions]

I found this channel back in the original bacon days. While I'm not a vegetarian I really enjoyed making carrot bacon and have done so several times. Lesser success with other veggies but I tried a few. Glad to see the return to bacon. --- I'd be curious to see a couple things in that lane. - One - The effect of salting/sitting the veggie slices. My experiments with this really depended on the veg I started with but helped draw in more marinade (and therefor flavor) as well as give that appropriate chew texture. - Two - Some experiments with different marinades. Perhaps a baseline mix and then additions for different flavor profiles. - Side note: I found that Marmite and Maggi really helped give depth to the umami.

I've made carrot bacon a few times and it's like playing golf...I'm terrible at it, but about 2% of the time I get it just right and it makes me want to try again.

Hell yeah bro 🎉

I love snacking on the broccoli stems. They've twice the nutrients that the flowery part does too. This is a total win!

[Richardthejeweller]

Loved the second opinion on this, seems like it tastes really good! Great vidéo.

Anyone who can make broccoli appealing to kids deserve a standing ovation 👏🏼

[justingarfield]

Love the older style video! Bring it back full time!

Letting the cut broccoli strips sit for at least 40 minutes to marinate will also help create sulforaphane. The precursor chemical in broccoli necessary to make sulfouraphane (glucoraphanin (the precursor) mixes with an enzyme in humans called myrosinase to create sulforaphane) is destroyed during heating and cooking broccoli, preventing sulforaphane creation. However, cutting up broccoli (as much as possible) before cooking causes the necessary mixing of glucoraphanin and myrosinase to create sulforaphane, which itself is not destroyed by heating and cooking.

People would be surprised what one can turn into "bacon". I fried a mixture of chickpeas and kidney beans chopped in a food processor and it came out like bacon bits.

Seeing the difference again, i just have to say you look awesome man. Lost 20 kg over the last year myself. So mad respect for the change! 💪
