Vegan Rice Paper Bacon with the Perfect Crunch & Flavor

Ingredients

• Rice paper sheets (thin, translucent) – provides the brilliant crisp texture and structure
• Soy sauce or tamari – for that umami depth and saltiness
• Liquid smoke – critical for authentic smoky flavor without the grill
• Maple syrup or agave nectar – adds subtle sweetness and caramelization
• Nutritional yeast – for vitamin B12 boost and cheesy undertones
• Smoked paprika – enhances smoky aroma and color
• Garlic powder – layers savory notes
• Black pepper – a little heat to balance the profile
• Olive oil or avocado oil – for crisping and richness
