Head's up vegetarians and vegans: Worcestershire sauce contains anchovies, so be sure you use a meatless version if you're trying to make this as a bacon substitute. Pescetarians: carry on, you're good.
Chef... you are crazy. Every time you come up with something new and I get addicted to it. You know..now I have to cook this at 10pm and I already had my dinner 🙂
This is inspiring, Chef John! Now I want to make a "vegetarian" style breakfast once in a while. I'd make it with roasted cauliflower and a tasty sweet type of bread with it (something Pepperidge Farm provides for example).
I might have to try this, in the hopes that I'll finally find a reason to like eggplant. I've had stir fried eggplant, baba ghanoush, eggplant pam, and numerous other dishes. Consistently, I dislike them. But it's such a popular ingredient in so many cuisines, so I feel guilty for not liking eggplant. My quest continues.
I made this probably from the same source you used and made the BLT w/ mash avocado instead of mayo on cauliflower bread (open face) and it was terrific. You're right as long as you don't go in expecting it to taste the same you will love it. We did.
I think an ELT sounds like a great way to try this - but with cheese added. I bet adding a sprinkle of parmesan just before finishing cooking these would be a good addition, also. I LOVE eggplant and cant' wait to try this.
thank you so much chef 😬 i love bacon (even is not kosher enought lol) and in eggplant (aubergines en français) i will test it soon. i really want to thank you for all your delicious receipes i cooked so many of them and the result is amazing thank you from my little town in the north of france 🇫🇷
The bowl at :40 Every chef HAS TO HAVE THIS. I got my dad's after he passed away. No weird stuff that was 6-7 years ago, I'm just saying.. its indispensable. Get one now and regret it never. Edit: On second look. it is much smaller than I thought, but get one of these a large as you can. This is so perfect for spreading marinade onto meat and veg. You can see all the lines where chef John has whisked or spatula'd tons of thing in there.
Payton Williams if you've removed meat out of your diet for a significant amount of time and then slip up and do eat some meat, it can make you sick since your body isn't used to it. While I'm not someone who subscribes to the idea of veganism and don't think eating "tiny fishies," wrong, if can mess someone up if all of a sudden they ate something like that without their knowledge.
I was so shocked to see this crunchy hippie Pinterest recipe show up on your videos chef... but I trust your methodology so... i guess we're buying eggplant this weekend!
A common sandwich or baguette filling at Christmas time is; Turkey with cranberry sauce (I prefer Lingonberry) crispy bacon and sage and onion pork meat stuffing. Question: what would one use to replace the turkey and porky stuffing, when making a vegetarian version?
Eh. I didn't really like that recipe. No Gochujang, or Gochu-garu. Those are non-optional ingredients for such a recipe. Sure it was good though! Just not to my "Korean-standards".
Thaís Franco no. won't be the same. you can make a syrup substitute by boiling and reducing 1 cup brown sugar with 1 cup water for about 5 mins. then take it off heat and stir in 1\2 teaspoon of cinnamon and a splash of lemon juice.
I've made this myself already, Chef and I agree. Nice as it's own thing but not as a bacon substitute. I don't suppose anything can substitute bacon. I put a a lot of smoked paprika on mine.
Let me start with "Love your recipes & videos". Chef John, do you think cooking the eggplant strips on baking racks would help them dry and crisp up faster?? Thanks in advance for your time to answer.
Why can't you eat bread anymore? Is it a personal choice or is it related to a gluten intolerance? I have Celiac Disease and I understand the struggle of eliminating bread, so that's why I am wondering.
i'm just out of the cinema after wathing Grave (Raw in English) and you talking about slicing fingers was super disturbing, but it's the perfect opportunity to recommend this movie to everyone who likes well thought horror films. anyways, great video I want to try this asap, thanks Chef!
First the Cauliflower "pizza" and Fries... then Eggplant "bacon".... Chef John if you're being hold hostage by some crazy vegan don't use Cayenne in the next video, I'll put together a rescue team ASAP.

"They're tripping, I should be dipping." - Chef Johnism No. 342
Great recipe, even better sayings. Thanks Chef John.
mephisto2468 I wonder why Chef John isn't selling t-shirts with all that stuff
For the record, I was kidding about the bread. Mostly.
Food Wishes I love cooking your recipes, you're the best.
Food Wishes chef John you didn't do a fork sound test, how am I supposed to like this now? 🤔
OR a crunchy bite test! I live for that stuff! *cries in the corner
I felt sad when you said you couldn't have bread anymore. I'm glad it's not true.
I was about to say...You Trippin!!
They're trippin. I should be dippin.
Chief John should trademark that line and sell it on a t-shirt. :v
Thomas Alias cause you are the swizz beatz of faux meats 😂
neiru I would but it on a shirt
I was about to comment that quote xD
Luca Peyrefitte yeah that's a good one , million dollar idea
If chef John dropped an album, I'd totally buy it.
I don't think I've ever seen anyone on the internet so instantly, extremely likeable as Chef John. So glad I stumbled across these videos!
Chef John.... when you speak... you sing.And when I cook your stuff... I'm in heaven. And when you crack jokes... you make me smile. YOU AWESOME !!!
"Swizz Beatz of faux meats" plus an "One to the Next One" reference???👏👏👏 #bars
Head's up vegetarians and vegans: Worcestershire sauce contains anchovies, so be sure you use a meatless version if you're trying to make this as a bacon substitute. Pescetarians: carry on, you're good.
Yes! I had just bought some eggplants and was wondering what new things to do with them! Thank you!
Out of all the things I like about your blog and channel, What I enjoy most is that you've given me courage to try new things. Thanks.
""Swizz Beats of your faux meats". Your a Word Smith sir! LOL Love it!
That towel trick is incredible. How hadn't I thought of that before?!
I tried this recipe and it tastes so good!
awesome video love your humor !! cant wait to try this ..
Never watch Chef John when you're baked as fuck without any food in the house except some pickles and mustard.
Chef... you are crazy. Every time you come up with something new and I get addicted to it.
You know..now I have to cook this at 10pm and I already had my dinner 🙂
Chef John, why are you so amazing?!
Your commentary is always brilliant. This is probably the best of them all.
you are the Swiss beats of your faux meats
food wishes mixtape coming soon
This is inspiring, Chef John! Now I want to make a "vegetarian" style breakfast once in a while. I'd make it with roasted cauliflower and a tasty sweet type of bread with it (something Pepperidge Farm provides for example).
Just thought I think it should be called "Egg"-in. ;)
the recipes are always interesting, but it's the narrative that really makes me click on each of your videos. :)
you da best chef john

Wow! That sounds fantastic. I wonder how that would taste/feel from a dehydrater.
That is a very interesting idea and my lunch tomorrow, thank you, Chef John!
Chef John be droppin bars frfr
I made this probably from the same source you used and made the BLT w/ mash avocado instead of mayo on cauliflower bread (open face) and it was terrific. You're right as long as you don't go in expecting it to taste the same you will love it. We did.
Can I substitute the eggplant for pork belly?
You never cease to inspire me with your food wishes. Thanks for sharing!
I love the way you talk!
You are the eggplant of your Kevin Bacon.
You can cook it in 6 degrees....... ;^)
9 degrees before tax, 6 degrees after tax.......if you catch my drift.
Best Chef Ever!
Yummmm.... I want some!
You are the boss of the makin', of your eggplant-based fake bacon
im Swiss Beatz and i approve this video
Okay, I was mad until you said "it's a fun way to eat eggplant." I appreciate this.
I think an ELT sounds like a great way to try this - but with cheese added. I bet adding a sprinkle of parmesan just before finishing cooking these would be a good addition, also. I LOVE eggplant and cant' wait to try this.
Looks quite good. Facon. As in faux bacon. Interesting recipe. Any recipe with maple syrup in it makes this Canadian happy.
No more bread??? But Chef John... you are my dough king of the rolling pin :(
You must have been declared a diabetic. Me too. Thanks for this video.. it inspires me to try eggplant out for this reason.
Chef John has the best one liners
Chef John, I will try this for sure. Love eggplant already and love the flavor of bacon. A winner! : )
The hiphop references are so on point
Thanks for a new eggplant recipe!
I just made this and it was delicious. I swapped the eggplant for bacon and just skipped the marinade and it came out great!
YES! Just saw this online recently and can't wait to try out this recipe.
Runny yolks make me wanna barf. But I am absolutely bonkers for Chef John. 🙌💗
This is pretty awesome!! love vegetarian recipes
I made a minor substitution of bacon for the eggplant. It's was great!
Oooo. I might try this as a garnish for salads! I haven't eaten meat in almost a year but I love your content (meat and all).
I love that there are already almost 1000 views and this was posted minutes ago! Nice one chef! Can't wait to try!!!
I literally googled how to do eggplant bacon just yersterday!! Great video!!
thank you so much chef 😬 i love bacon (even is not kosher enought lol) and in eggplant (aubergines en français) i will test it soon. i really want to thank you for all your delicious receipes i cooked so many of them and the result is amazing thank you from my little town in the north of france 🇫🇷
Excellent Swizz Beatz reference.
Everything he touches surprisingly turns out surprisingly well lol :P
Ohh how delicious! Food Wish - Pasta a la Carbonara please, Chef John. xx
You're a madman and i love it

I really enjoy your videos, Chef John! Thank you for making my days brighter and more delicious! 😊
That is awesome! Good job!
Next week Chef John will create Glazed Doughnut Flavored Cow Testicles. yum yum
"They're trippin', I should be dippin'" ... CHEEEEF JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHN
I think you found a way for me to enjoy eggplant!
This comes at a perfect time!!! My eggplants are producing like crazy!!!
Thank you,Chef John!
Wonderful, I was contemplating buying a mandoline and now I'm sold :)
Love the idea. Will try soon!
"they're tripping. I should be dipping."
a mood!
chef john is just savage with his poetry
I love you chef John.
If you made shirts that said "You after all, the Swizz Beatz of your faux meatz -Chef John" I'd purchase two in a heartbeat.
They look eggcellent, I'll be bacon some of these up tonight.
Liquid smoke is what Chef John uses as cologne... and he has us all hooked
"and theoretically use the finger guard, which of course I always do"
*quickly pans camera away from the peeler* 🤔
You are SOOOO COOL! "On to the next" recipe!!!!😎😎😎😎🤓🤓🤓🤓
IF UR VEGAN make sure to use Worcestershire that doesn't contain anchovies. Annie's brand has a good one

Ash as a carnivore every once in a while I eat a vegetable. it makes me sick as shit. so I get it.
Chef John I love you, please marry me
dgmoocher D r Even though he talked about our football team choking (Falcons) I still will except your hand in marriage as well Chef John... 🤗
Muslim4Life84 I'm straight and in a relationship
Are you breaking up with me?
Sorry, Richard, he'd have to say, "That'd be too big o' me!"
Blood Type diet.
Type Os have serious digestive issues and stunted growth during teenage and chilhood if they consume glutne.
A little bit of heat is always neat.
finally thinking about us vegetarians thanks chef John
That looks delicious, this is happening at my house.
"Can't be sued...again."

Question: what would one use to replace the turkey and porky stuffing, when making a vegetarian version?
thank you Chef Jon a new culinary twist on a most robust and healthy fruit. 😋🍆🍆🍆🍳
Make something Korean! That would be cool!
jesse ruby He did an awesome Korean fried chicken episode... mouth watering:)
Eh. I didn't really like that recipe. No Gochujang, or Gochu-garu. Those are non-optional ingredients for such a recipe. Sure it was good though! Just not to my "Korean-standards".
고추장 for fried chicken? Perhaps for 양념치킨 or some other flavored chicken, but his fried chicken recipe was fine.
Yes, kimchi fried rice would be a good one.
Om rice!! Easy peasy very pleasy!!
Chef John, do you think you'll ever do an "intro to cooking - basics" series?
Damn, Chef John. Your rhyme game is strong in this one.
this man just said Swizz Beatz I'm out lmaoo
Hi chef Jhon! Love your recipes. I'm from Brazil and we don't have maple syrup around here. Would honey be a good replacer?
Thaís Franco well it's a sweetener so yeah
No, it's too floral. Brown sugar or molasses will be a better substitute if you can get your hands on it.
Thaís Franco no. won't be the same. you can make a syrup substitute by boiling and reducing 1 cup brown sugar with 1 cup water for about 5 mins. then take it off heat and stir in 1\2 teaspoon of cinnamon and a splash of lemon juice.
Great for chips for guacamole too.
I've made this myself already, Chef and I agree. Nice as it's own thing but not as a bacon substitute. I don't suppose anything can substitute bacon. I put a a lot of smoked paprika on mine.
Let me start with "Love your recipes & videos". Chef John, do you think cooking the eggplant strips on baking racks would help them dry and crisp up faster?? Thanks in advance for your time to answer.
Cauliflower pizza, eggplant bacon...?!
Chef John became a vegan!
Yes. Those were vegan eggs he dipped the "bacon" in at the end as well.
Ed Prior tofu-potato fried "eggs" are coming, you'll see!
cydoroga Where does he get his vitamin b-12
+Ed Prior They said BECOMING. You don't go from carnivore to Deer in one fail swoop.
They said "became," as in past tense, as in is currently
Why can't you eat bread anymore? Is it a personal choice or is it related to a gluten intolerance? I have Celiac Disease and I understand the struggle of eliminating bread, so that's why I am wondering.
"They're trippin i should be dippin" lol 😂
i'm just out of the cinema after wathing Grave (Raw in English) and you talking about slicing fingers was super disturbing, but it's the perfect opportunity to recommend this movie to everyone who likes well thought horror films.
anyways, great video I want to try this asap, thanks Chef!
First the Cauliflower "pizza" and Fries... then Eggplant "bacon"....
Chef John if you're being hold hostage by some crazy vegan don't use Cayenne in the next video, I'll put together a rescue team ASAP.
I DEFINITELY will be eating this instead of bacon (since I don't) Thanks Chef John!
