I love the rice cakes with flavorings on top. They are called differently around the world. Here they are called Snack-a-Jacks. Quaker seems to produce most of them around the world. I love the ones I can get in the supermarket, but the only savory flavors I can get here are cheese or BBQ... and I want more for less! So after a bit of experimenting I figured how to get the spice blend to stick to the rice cakes and it is rather simple: water.
Wetting the rice cakes with water will make the surface slightly sticky. Just sticky enough for a fine powder to stick to. I personally enjoy making a spice blend with some nutritional yeast for a nutty, cheesy flavor and also added nutrition.
Ingredients:
Rice cakes
Your own favorite spice blend
What you will need:
Spray bottle for water
Some foil or other something to cover your baking tray
2. Line your baking tray with foil or something else to cover. I prefer foil, because it does not get soggy during the next steps.
3. Line up your rice cakes on the foil.
4. Use the spray bottle to evenly spray all the rice cakes with water.
5. Sprinkle your spice blend on them. I use an old paprika powder container.
6. Spray some more water on top of the spices.
7. Bake the rice cakes for 8 to 10 minutes or until completely dry.
8. Let cool on a wire rack and enjoy!
