Ingredients

  • 8 oz tempeh
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tbsp coconut aminos or reduced-sodium tamari
  • 2 tsp liquid smoke (optional)
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper (optional)
  • 2 tbsp vegetable broth

Method

  1. Steam the tempeh for 15-20 minutes, then let it cool.
  2. Slice into 1/4-inch strips.
  3. Whisk the garlic, coconut aminos, liquid smoke, maple syrup, onion powder, and pepper together for the marinade.
  4. Pour over the tempeh strips and marinate at least 2 hours, or overnight, flipping halfway.
  5. Heat the broth in a pan over medium heat, add the tempeh, and cook 2-3 minutes per side, until browned.

Tip: The longer it marinates, the deeper the flavour - overnight is best.

Highlights: 12g protein per 3-slice serving, and no oil needed to crisp it.
