Roasted shiitake mushrooms doused in soy sauce with a dash of smoked paprika become a natural, vegan alternative to bacon. Try them in this vegan version of a classic BLT with creamy avocado and eggless mayonnaise or on top of a salad as a substitute for bacon bits.

My husband loved this sandwich and he isn't even vegan. Definitely worth giving it a try. I used portabello mushrooms and spinach instead of lettuce because that is what we had in the fridge.

I didn't have avacado oil or tamari so I used olive oil and soy sauce. It turned out so delicious can't believe how much it had the flavor of a BLT! Definitely making this again and again!
