You can make the best vegan bacon from over-ripe marinaded organic banana peels. The peels also make a great soup. You can make banana chips from the freshly peeled banana flesh. Bacon, soup, and chips. Same fruit. All you need is fresh organic bananas, a good marinade, a skillet and an airfryer.
If you are vegan, banana bacon combined with my vegan tofu egg scramble is how bacon and eggs feel for breakfast. The secret is in the bacon peel marinade.

I teach people at the farmers market to grow small scale fruits and vegetables. My grandparents and parents taught me growing, cooking and preserving home grown fruits and vegetables, eggs, meats and fish. I got certified by the University of California Master Gardener Program in 2005. I try to bring out the original flavor of ingredients, then add layers of spices, herbs and flavorings that enhance, not distort the taste. These are the global, organic and vegan family recipes we use.
