There always comes a point in the day when I need a little snack. However, I don’t want to foil my dinner or eat something that encourages overeating like crackers or chips. So instead I reach for this Zesty Ancho Mushroom Jerky.
This mushroom jerky is delightfully chewy and has an amazing smoky flavor. This plant based jerky really does remind me of real jerky and it’s a perfect snack.
The key to this Zesty Ancho Mushroom Jerky is a dehydrator. I really don’t know how we managed before we had one. Not only do we save money by making our own dried fruit and herbs but we can also make incredible vegan snacks like this mushroom jerky.

Also, did I mention that you only need 5 ingredients to make this jerky! That’s right!!! All you need is:
1. King oyster mushrooms
2. Liquid aminos
3. Liquid smoke
4. Dried Ancho chili peppers
5. Rice wine vinegar
Only 5 ingredients and you have and incredible snack that lasts for weeks and that you can easily bring ANYWHERE. Yummm… Zesty Ancho Mushroom Jerky!! In fact, I think I need to make another batch right now!
