Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow dish, prepare the marinade by whisking together soy sauce, liquid smoke, maple syrup, nutritional yeast, olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Fill a large bowl with warm water and dip each rice paper sheet into the water for about 5 seconds to soften slightly. They should be pliable but not too soft.
Once pliable, place a rice paper sheet on a cutting board. Using kitchen scissors, cut the sheet into approximate 3-inch wide strips.
Dip each strip quickly back into the marinade, ensuring both sides are coated, and place them onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Ensure there’s space between each strip to allow for even baking.
Bake the rice paper strips in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until they’re bubbling slightly and golden brown. Keep a close eye towards the end of baking as they can go from crispy to burnt quickly.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the strips to cool on the tray for a few minutes. They will become crisper as they cool.
Once cooled, your vegan crispy prosciutto is ready to use. Serve as a crunchy topping for salads, pasta, or enjoy it as a savory snack.
