Ingredients

  • 4 sheets rice paper cut into long stripes

Sauce Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp tamari
  • 1/2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions

  • Pre heat your oven to 200C with a large oven tray lined with baking paper inside. Prepare the sauce by adding all the ingredients to a small mixing bowl and whisk until smooth. Meanwhile with scissors cut the rice paper into long strips.
  • Now dip or brush each rice paper strip into the sauce and place onto the baking tray, making sure to leave a little space between each. Place in the oven for 4-5 minutes, keep an eye on them to stop it from burning (you are looking for a lightly crispy texture).
