Ingredients
- 2-4 Rice paper wrappers

- 3/4 cup Soy sauce/tamari/coconut aminos (use gluten-free/vegan option to make recipe gluten-free/vegan)
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- A few cranks of fresh pepper OR 1 tsp ground
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tbsp melted coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- Using kitchen scissors, cut the rice paper wrappers ONE AT A TIME into long pieces that are of equal width. Set aside.
- Fill a mixing bowl with warm water.
- Fill a shallow dish or pan with the remaining ingredients listed above. Whisk together well.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Grab one of the pieces of rice paper wrapper. Dip into a bowl of water to wet. Dip into the marinade to coat, shake off excess gently and place on the parchment-lined pan.
- Repeat step 7 with a new piece, layer on top of the first piece.
- Repeat steps 7 and 8 until you have used all the pieces and have several double-layered "bacon" strips.
- Bake in the oven for about 5 minutes or until the bacon looks crispy and brown.

Notes
Use tamari or coconut aminos instead of sauce to make gluten-free. Use this vegan bacon anywhere you'd use bacon!
