Yields 3–4 servings
Portobello mushrooms are rich in copper, selenium and vitamin B. Coconut protects against heart disease and stroke and is rich in vitamins A and E, polyphenols and phytosterols—all of which work together to lower LDL cholesterol. Tamari is a soy-based seasoning similar to soy sauce, but less processed and often gluten-free.

Portobello/Coconut “Bacon” Directions
- Heat the oven to 325°.

- Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Remove the mushrooms from the marinade, place on the tray and bake for 10 to 12 minutes.
