Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 Rice paper sheets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons Nutritional yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, smoked paprika, soy sauce, maple syrup, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Fill a large bowl with warm water. Working with one piece of rice paper at a time, submerge the sheet in warm water for about 5-10 seconds until it becomes soft and pliable.
Cut each softened rice paper sheet into strips that are approximately 1 inch wide and 4 inches long.
Lay the strips on the lined baking sheet without overlapping.
Brush each rice paper strip with the prepared marinade ensuring even coverage.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the rice paper strips are golden and crispy, watching carefully as they can burn quickly.
Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. The strips will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Use the crispy vegetarian prosciutto immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
