Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 sheets Rice paper sheets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cumin
- as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix together the nutritional yeast, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and ground cumin.
Take each rice paper sheet and cut them into quarters using kitchen scissors or a sharp knife for easier handling.
Lightly brush each piece with olive oil or spray with cooking spray to ensure even coverage.
Sprinkle the seasoning mix evenly over each piece of oiled rice paper.
Place the seasoned rice paper pieces on the prepared baking sheet, making sure not to overlap them.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until they are crispy and golden brown. Keep an eye on them as they can burn quickly.
Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before serving.
Enjoy as a standalone snack or serve with your favorite dip.
