Ingredients
- 6 sheets Rice paper sheets
- 1 tablespoon Liquid smoke
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, mix the liquid smoke, soy sauce, maple syrup, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, nutritional yeast, olive oil, and 1/2 cup of water to make the marinade.
Step 3
Cut each rice paper sheet in half to create approximately 12 pieces of rice paper in total.
Step 4
Fill a separate shallow dish with the remaining 1/2 cup of water. Dip one piece of rice paper into the water for a few seconds until it becomes pliable.
Step 5
Place the moistened rice paper on a clean surface and brush both sides lightly with the prepared marinade.
Step 6
Place another piece of moistened rice paper on top of the first piece. The double layer helps create a sturdy texture similar to bacon. Brush the top side again with the marinade.
Step 7
Place the marinated rice paper strips onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat the process with the remaining rice paper strips.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the rice paper bacon turns golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on it as it can burn quickly.
Step 9
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the strips cool for a few minutes. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Step 10
Serve your Vegetarian Crispy Oven-Baked Bacon immediately with your favorite breakfast dishes or use them in sandwiches or salads.
