Tara’s Tips For The Perfect Rice Paper Bacon Recipe:
- This recipe is SO EASY!
- Double the rice paper sheets, don’t skip this, you will be sorry!
- Be generous with the marinade, don’t skimp!!!
- Use clean kitchen scissors to cut the rice paper, a knife will not work.
- Be careful not to overcook your rice paper bacon, there is a fine line between done and burned for these. Mine take 7 minutes. Check yours as the 7 minutes approaches.
- Rice paper typically comes shaped like a circle, cut your circle into strips one and a half inches wide. You will end up with 5 pieces of bacon and an extra piece of the circle on each end that you can discard.

Vegan Rice Paper Bacon Recipe
My favorite vegan bacon! So versatile, crispy, yummy, and quick! Turn your leftover rice paper sheets into something awesome!
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp liquid aminos (sub soy sauce or tamari)
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp liquid smoke
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 8 sheets rice paper
Directions
- Step 1 Preheat oven to 400 degrees F
- Step 2 Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone liner.
- Step 3 Whisk together all ingredients for the marinade in a flat glass bowl.
- Step 4 Align 2 pieces of rice paper, one over the other, creating a layer of 2 rice paper sheets together. Using a clean pair of kitchen scissors, cut rice paper sheets into bacon strips, approximately 5 per sheet. Repeat with all sheets. Keep the matching strips together with their pair.
- Step 5 Next, fill a shallow/flat glass bowl with warm tap water. Dip the 2 layered rice paper strips and dip them in the water together ensuring they stay lined up. This sticks them together. Drain off the excess water with your fingers.
- Step 6 Take each doubled up strip and dip into the marinade making sure both sides get covered with the marinade. Use a pastry brush as needed to be sure all areas of each strip are coated in the marinade.
- Step 7 After coating with the marinade, place each piece of bacon on the prepared baking sheet.
- Step 8 Bake in a 400-degree oven for 7 minutes. You do not need to flip them but watch them carefully as 7 minutes approaches. They quickly burn after bubbling so remove them promptly. All ovens vary so it might take an extra minute to get the brown bubbling you want.
- Step 9 Eat immediately or store in a glass airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 days and reheat in the oven or toaster oven until crispy.
- Step 10 Enjoy!
