How To MakeDiet Type: Plant-based
Shopping List
- 1 (8 ounce) package tempeh
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons agave syrup
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: Place a steamer basket in a large pot filled with 1 inch of water. Bring the water to a low boil and add the tempeh. Steam the tempeh for 6 to 8 minutes. Rinse and pat the tempeh dry. Note: Steaming the tempeh before baking will help remove its natural bitterness.
- Step 2: Combine all ingredients, except the tempeh, in a glass container. Stir the mixture until smooth. Slice the tempeh into into slices (about 1/4 to 1/2 inch wide). Add the sliced tempeh to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours to overnight. While marinating, flip the tempeh at least once to ensure an even coating.
- Step 3: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Transfer the marinated tempeh to a lined baking sheet, brushing any residual marinade over the tempeh slices.
- Step 4: Bake for 15 minutes, carefully flipping the tempeh over halfway through the cooking time.
- Serve: Enjoy warm. This tempeh is great in Easy Taco Salad, Tex-Mex Caesar Salad, or even tacos.
