Make the marinade by mixing 3 tablespoons of tomato paste, 4 tablespoons of soy sauce, 4 tablespoons of grape seed oil, 4 teaspoons of chilli powder, 1 teaspoon of oregano, 2 teaspoons of cumin, 1 teaspoon of sea salt, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, and 4 tablespoons of coconut sugar.

Pour the marinade over the shredded mushrooms and let sit.

Sauté half a green pepper and half a yellow onion until browned.

Add the marinated mushrooms to the pan and mix.

Let the mushrooms sit on one side for 5 minutes until browned, then flip and brown the other side.

Repeat browning each side twice on medium-high heat to help them get crispy.

Transfer the mushrooms to a sheet pan lined with parchment paper or non-stick foil and bake at 425°F for 15 minutes.
