Ingredients
- 4 sheets Rice paper sheets
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Liquid smoke
- 1 tablespoon Nutritional yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons Water
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine the wet and seasonings ingredients: soy sauce, maple syrup, smoked paprika, liquid smoke, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, coconut oil, and water. Whisk until well mixed.
Step 2
Prepare each rice paper sheet by cutting them into strips about 1 inch wide, resembling bacon strips.
Step 3
Gently dip each rice paper strip into the marinade mixture, ensuring fully coated but not oversaturated.
Step 4
Layer half of the rice paper strips on top of each other carefully after marinating to create a double-layered strip. This will help mimic the texture of bacon yet keep it vegan.
Step 5
Lay the coated rice paper strips on a microwave-safe plate lined with parchment paper.
Step 6
Microwave the strips for 4-5 minutes, checking halfway to ensure they are starting to crisp and not burning. Cooking times may vary depending on your microwave model.
Step 7
Once crispy and slightly browned, remove from the microwave and allow to cool slightly. They will continue to crisp as they cool.
Step 8
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for a day while maintaining some crispiness.
