Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 sheets Rice paper sheets
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix olive oil, nutritional yeast, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper to form a paste.
Place a single rice paper sheet into a shallow bowl filled with water, submerging it briefly until it's soft but not overly soggy.
Lay the softened rice paper on a cutting board and use a sharp knife or scissors to cut it into smaller strips or shapes of your choice, reminiscent of pork rind sizes.
Gently brush both sides of each rice paper strip with the spiced paste, ensuring an even coating.
Arrange the prepared rice paper strips on the baking sheets, leaving space between each piece.
Bake for 8-10 minutes in the oven, watching closely to prevent burning, until the rice paper is crispy and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly. The rice paper will continue to crisp as it cools.
Serve your vegan crispy baked 'pork rinds' as a snack on their own or with a favorite dipping sauce.
