Woman Shares Viral Recipe For Making Bacon Out of Carrots

TikTok is awash with many different creative food recipes for people to try out.

However, you'd be hard-pressed to find one as impressive as the offering recently shared by social media star Tabitha Brown.

Her genius recipe involves turning some carrots into bacon—how impressive is that?!

The video starts with Brown, who is from Eden, North Carolina, but lives in California, holding up some raw carrots.

She then tells the camera in her southern drawl: "Do you see carrots or do you see bacon? I'm about to make carrot bacon uh-huh."

The process begins with her using a peeler to slice the vegetable into thin slices, so that they can eventually look more like bacon.

The mother-of-two then adds: "Now you've got a few strips, but if you want more than this, then do that because that's your business."

She then lets the slices marinate in a bowl—which holds a mixture of liquid smoke, pepper, maple syrup, onion powder, garlic powder and smoked paprika—for two minutes.

After this she adds the carrot strips into an air fryer for five minutes. When they are done they look like crispy bacon streaks.

The original video, which can be viewed here, was posted on April 12, 2020 with the caption: "Carrot bacon #tabithabrown #veganbaconand, and has so far been seen over 21.2 million times and attracted 3.7 million likes.

However, the clever method has again gone viral after the star reposted it a year later, alongside a caption which read: "Omg family this video was 1 year ago today and you all watched and shared millions of times!!

"Thank you!!! #tabithabrown." It has so far garnered 481,700 views and more than 81,900 likes.

Many flooded the comments section sharing their views on the clever hack.

One TikTok user, Karly Smith, wrote: "Wow!! I can't wait to do this!!"

Another person, whose account name is Yes I did Make Her Change It, added: "I'm not vegan but this is wholesome I love your videos so much."

Spencer Reese typed: "I saved this video because it's my comfort video."

Michaela405 joked: "I be like, uh... I see carrots.. still see carrots... omg bacon!"

Fletcher1962 revealed: "My favorite part: Because that's ya business! Love it! Followed!"

JamieMichelle asked: "Ok so I need to know: does this taste like bacon???"
