Ingredients

  • 8 oz package of tempeh
  • ¼ cup low-sodium tamari or soy sauce
  • ¼ cup avocado or olive oil
  • 2 Tablespoons maple syrup
  • ½ Tablespoon liquid smoke
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Cut tempeh into 1/4” – thick strips/slices.
  • Add tamari, oil, maple syrup, liquid smoke, paprika, garlic powder and pepper to a shallow dish. Whisk together with a fork and add tempeh slices. Cover and let marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour or up to 3 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Arrange tempeh slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil. You can pour the leftover marinade over tempeh or discard.
