Equipment
- Large baking pan lined
- Parchment paper size of the baking pan
- Large Mixing Bowl
- Round bowl like a baking pan or pie plate
- Large Sharp knife
- 1/2 tsp, tbsp
Ingredients
- 6 Sheets of Rice paper rounds
- 2 tbsp Sunflower or Avocado oil - neutral tasting oil
- 3 tbsp Tamari Soy Sauce - gluten free
- 1 tbsp BBQ sauce - gluten free
- 1/2 tsp Black pepper ground
- 1/8 tsp Smoke Paprika
- 1-2 cups Warm water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.Add the large baking tray.
- With the sharp knife, press down in the middle of the rice paper rounds. Snap them in half. Continue to cut all of the rice papers. They may crack a little, but that is completely fine.
- In the round dish, add the water half way up.In the large mixing bowl, add all of the ingredients and whisk well together.Dip 1 half of rice paper into the warm water for 1 second, and run your fingers down to remove some of the water.Then place it into the mixture and make sure every piece and both sides of the rice paper. Run your fingers down to remove some but no all of the mixture.Set that piece flat onto the parchment paper.Repeat to all of the rice paper halves. Laying them side by side on the baking tray. Doesn't have to be perfect. Making them a little wrinkled is ok if you need to make room for all of them to fit on the tray.
- Open the oven door, and pull out the baking tray. Carefully put the parchment paper on to the baking tray.Put back into the oven and bake for 5 minutes.Remove from oven and pull the parchment paper off of the baking pan to stop the cooking process.
- Serve immediately. Can be put into a sandwich with tomato, lettuce and plant based mayo!
