Notes
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a month.
- Are bacon bits vegetarian? Surprisingly, the answer is sometimes. Despite the name, some store-bought bacon bits are actually made from soy rather than actual bacon. While they might not be made with TVP like these vegan bacon bits, they’re still soy-based.
