Ingredients
- 8 sheets rice paper sheets
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, whisk together the soy sauce, liquid smoke, maple syrup, nutritional yeast, olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 3
Take two rice paper sheets at a time and run them under warm water to soften slightly. Lay them flat on a clean surface, one sheet on top of the other, to make them thicker and more bacon-like.
Step 4
Using kitchen scissors, cut the doubled rice paper into strips, about 1 inch wide. You should end up with about 16-20 strips.
Step 5
Dip each strip quickly into the marinade, ensuring both sides are well coated, then place it on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all strips are coated and arranged on the sheet.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 7 minutes, then flip the strips and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until they reach your desired level of crispiness. Watch closely as they can burn quickly.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes to allow them to crisp up further.
Step 8
Serve immediately as a snack, in sandwiches, or as a savory topping for dishes.
