Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
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.
Cut each rice paper sheet in half to create approximately 12 pieces of rice paper in total.
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.
Place the moistened rice paper on a clean surface and brush both sides lightly with the prepared marinade.
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.
Place the marinated rice paper strips onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat the process with the remaining rice paper strips.
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.
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.
Serve your Vegetarian Crispy Oven-Baked Bacon immediately with your favorite breakfast dishes or use them in sandwiches or salads.
