  • 2-4 garlic cloves

  • 1 shallot, peeled and sliced in half

  • 1 jalapeño, sliced lengthwise

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 2 tbsp soy sauce

  • 2 tbsp maple syrup

  • 1 tbsp sriracha

  • 1 tbsp olive oil


Method: Let’s Get Cooking!



Before being roasted.

  1. Roast the Veggies: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). On a parchment-lined baking sheet, toss the carrots, garlic, shallot, jalapeño, and cilantro with olive oil and salt. Roast for 35-40 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and slightly crispy on the edges. Your kitchen will smell heavenly!


After being roasted for 35 minutes.

  1. Make the Coconut Bacon: While the veggies are roasting, prepare your coconut bacon! In a bowl, mix the shredded coconut with soy sauce, maple syrup, sriracha, and olive oil. Spread it out on a baking sheet and roast at 325°F (160°C) for about 10 minutes. Keep a close eye on it—coconut can go from perfectly golden to burnt in a flash!

  1. Blend it Up: Once your veggies are perfectly roasted, add everything from the baking sheet to a blender. Pour in the can of coconut milk and add the miso paste. Blend until smooth, adjusting the consistency with water as needed.

  2. Final Touches: Once your coconut bacon is golden and crispy, let it cool—it will harden a bit more as it does.

  3. Serve and Enjoy: Ladle the luscious soup into bowls, sprinkle with coconut bacon and fresh cilantro, and get ready for the compliments to roll in!
