Description

Ingredients

• 8-10 pieces rice paper
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 2 Tbsp nutritional yeast
• 3 Tbsptamari (or soy sauce if you dont have tamari)
• ½ Tbsp garlic powder
• ¼ tsp liquid smoke (you can also sub 1 Tbsp bbq sauce if you do not have access to liquid smoke)
• ½ Tbsp maple syrup
• ¼ tsp ground black pepper
• ¼ tsp of Hungarian paprika

Directions

• Cut rice paper into thick strips,by laying two sheets on top of one another. Use a large, very sharp knife to cut the sheets into strips by placing the blade onto the paper and pressing firmly. The rice paper will crack a bit- but using a very sharp knife should eliminate major breakage.
• Preheat the oven to 400F.
• Prepare 2 baking sheets with sheets of parchment paper.
• In a bowl, whisk together all the ingredients except the rice paper. This will become your marinade.
• Prepare a second wide bowl filled partway with water.
• Take two strips with similar length and shape and lay them side by side. Using a pastry brush, brush each sheet with water and stack them one on top of the other. They should start to stick together.
• Brush water along the side facing you and, holding them together, flip the paper over and brush that side with water.
• Lay on a piece of parchment or a cutting board and do this with as many pieces as you can until you run out of space.
• Once youve run our of space or rice paper- whichever comes first- using dry pastry brush (do not using the one you used for water- it will dilute the marinade) and brush the marinade onto one side of the now fused rice paper strip, and lay marinade side down onto the baking pan.
• Now brush the marinade onto the strip facing you,coat generously. Both side should now have marinade on them.
• Repeat technique with remaining rice paper strips until the baking sheet is filled, whisking the marinade every so often to prevent separation.
• Bake for about 7 to 8 minutes, until crisp.
• The strips burn easily, so keep an eye on the baking sheet and remove from sheet right away.
• You can store leftover rice paper bacon in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the fridge for a few weeks.
