I’ve always had a soft spot for crispy smoked tempeh, and when I went vegan, I thought I’d have to say goodbye to that satisfying crunch.

Ingredients & Substitutions
Rice paper is a great base here because it gets wonderfully crispy in the oven. Feel free to experiment with different flavors in the marinade—sometimes I add a bit of chili powder for a kick! Just remember to keep it plant-based.
Tips & Notes
- •I love to experiment with the marinade—sometimes I add a little maple syrup for sweetness or even some sriracha for heat!
- •If you're feeling fancy, try adding some nutritional yeast to the marinade for a cheesy flavor.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll sprinkle on some sesame seeds before baking for an extra crunch.
- •You can also try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicy twist!
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftover Rice Paper smoked tempeh in an airtight container in the fridge. They’ll keep for about 3-4 days, but I recommend reheating them in the oven to bring back their crunch!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other types of paper?
I wouldn't recommend it! Rice paper is unique in how it crisps up. Other papers just won’t give you that same texture.
How do I store leftover Rice Paper smoked tempeh?
If you have any leftovers (which is rare!), store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They’ll stay crispy for a couple of days. Just reheat them in the oven for a few minutes to regain that crunch.

Take a rice paper sheet and briefly soak it in warm water until it’s pliable, about 10-15 seconds. Don’t let it get too soft.

Brush one side of the rice paper with olive oil, then spread a thin layer of the marinade mixture over the oiled side.
