Description

Enjoy this tempeh bacon on a sandwich or in a salad. Reheats beautifully!


Ingredients

Scale

5 ounce package tempeh

1 tablespoon maple syrup

2 tablespoons tamari or light soy sauce

1/4 teaspoon cumin

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

dash of cayenne pepper

1 tablespoon avocado oil


Instructions

  1. Cut tempeh width-wise (the shorter way), into very thin slices.
  2. Combine all of the ingredients except the avocado oil in a shallow dish and marinate the tempeh strips for about 5-10 minutes.
  3. In a large non-stick skillet, warm the avocado oil and then begin to pan fry the tempeh strips (you should hear a sizzle when you place the strips in the pan). Cook for 2-3 minutes until crisp and browned on one side, then flip over and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove the pieces from the pan and let cool.
