For the coconut bacon (makes a big batch), mix together coconut flakes, 1 tbsp of olive oil, 2 tbsp of tamari or soy sauce, the smoked paprika, and 1 tbsp of maple syrup or sweetener of choice with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Bake in the preheated even for 5mins, flip and bake for another 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Cool down before serving.
