Bacon Grows on Trees

      Bacon grows on trees. This is a fact I have newly come to accept as truth. Impossible you say? Well....

- Obtain properly identified, harvested, and cleaned oyster mushrooms. 

-Preheat oven to 350*F

-Rip the mushrooms into thin strips along the gills, compost the thicker base part or use it in a soup or something later. Put strips into medium/large bowl.

-Line baking sheet(s) with parchment paper

-Drizzle mushroom strips generously with olive oil and salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Parmesan cheese to taste. Really you could use all kinds of spices on them..go nuts! Toss to evenly coat all mushrooms. (It's ok if some break...bacon bits!)

- Arrange strips in single layer on baking sheet(s). Bake for about one hour...or until brown and crispy!

That's it! Yes...it's that easy! I'd tell you the shelf life and storage but none of ours have lasted more than two hours uneaten to test that. Enjoy!!
