Now you’re probably thinking…. What….. How?!?!

It’s totally gluten free & plant-based using just a handful of simple ingredients.
Get ready to have your mind blown!
You’re going to absolutely love this plant-based bacon as it’s:
- Extremely Easy
- Crispy
- Delicious
- 5 Ingredients
- Ready in 15 mins
- Gluten free & Vegan
Using these 5 simple ingredients.
The sauce for coating the rice paper strips is so easy to make ready in about 1 minute and only needing just 4 ingredients!
The flavours this vegan bacon sauce packs is incredible.
It’s smokiness from the smoked paprika.
Sweetness coming from the maple syrup.
Finally that umami salty hit coming from the tamari.
This recipe is so incredibly quick and easy to make it a must try!
Rice paper is perfect for this recipe as it’s naturally gluten free and both soaks up the sauce but also goes crispy once baked.
You could always swap the rice paper for long thin strips of aubergine or courgette.
Finally after just 4-5 minutes in the oven it comes out all crispy and smelling incredible.
