This Vegan Rice Paper Bacon makes a great tasty snack. And pretty easy to make. I found several videos on You Tube with vegan bacon recipes, and my recipe is based on the one by Brett Cobley. Check out his video.
A couple of differences – Instead of soy sauce I used Bragg’s Aminos as I wanted this to be soy free.
And his recipe puts granulated salt between the rice paper sheets. I did this the first time but found the result a touch too salty, so left that out the next time.
Ingredients:
- 4 Sheets Rice Paper
- 3 T Bragg’s Aminos
- 1 T Olive Oil
- 2 T Maple Syrup
- 1/4 t black pepper
- 1/2 t Onion Powder
- 1/2 t Garlic Powder
- 1/2 t Smoked Paprika
- 1/t Liquid Smoke
- 1/2 T Nutritional Yeast
What to do:
Prepare the marinade:
Put all ingredients (except rice paper) in a bowl and mix well into a thick sticky sauce.
Prepare the rice paper:
Lay out 2 sheets rice paper on some parchment.
Using a small brush, lightly brush both sides of each piece.
Then lay one on top of the other.
Now liberally brush both sides of the double rice paper with the thick sauce.
Using a sharp knife cut into eight strips, and move them slightly apart.
Place on a baking tray and put into a preheated oven (200 Deg C) and bake for about 7 minutes.
You need to watch carefully. They must cook long enough, but not too long so it burns. Everyone’s oven will probably be slightly different. For me it is exactly 7 minutes.
Remove from oven and allow to cool and crisp up – 7 to 10 minutes.
Absolutely delicious!
Best eaten pretty well straight away. In fact I only managed to grab a photo of the last three pieces.
Repeat with the other 2 sheets of rice paper and the other half of the sauce.
You can play around with the amount of spice in the recipe if you want it spicier.
And thanks again to Brett Cobley for his video recipe.
Bon Apetit.
