In the next step, she prepares a marinade using simple everyday ingredients such as liquid smoke, maple syrup, paprika, black pepper and garlic powder.

“Mix this all up because this is your seasoning,” Brown comments as she swirls the mixture together.

 “And this is your concoction for your carrots to turn it into the bacon.”

After soaking the strips in the marinade, she cooks them in an air fryer at 380 degrees for five minutes.

 The result- tantalizing crunchy vegan bacon strips, which Brown displays as she takes them out of the fryer.
