Ingredients
- 8 sheets Rice paper sheets
- 2 teaspoons Liquid smoke
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 0.5 cup Water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, mix the liquid smoke, soy sauce, maple syrup, olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and nutritional yeast until well combined. Slowly add the water and whisk to make a smooth marinade.
Step 3
Take two rice paper sheets at a time (stacked together) and dip them briefly in warm water until slightly soft but still firm enough to handle.
Step 4
Lay the softened rice papers on a flat surface and, using a sharp knife or kitchen scissors, cut into strips approximately 1 inch wide.
Step 5
Dip each strip into the marinade, ensuring they are thoroughly coated, then lay them flat on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6
Repeat with the remaining sheets and marinade until all are utilized.
Step 7
Bake the strips in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes until crisp and golden brown, keeping a close eye on them to prevent burning.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Step 9
Serve the Vegetarian Savory Bacon Bites as a snack or add them as a topping to salads or sandwiches for an extra smoky crunch.
