How To MakeDiet Type: Plant-based
Shopping List
- 1 (8 ounce) package tempeh
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 1/2 tablespoons maple syrup or agave syrup
- 1 tablespoon plain Greek-style or non-dairy yogurt
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt and 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. Steaming the tempeh before baking will help remove bitterness.
- Step 2: Combine all ingredients, except the tempeh, in a glass container. Stir the mixture until smooth. Slice the steamed warm tempeh into into slices, about 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch wide. Add the sliced tempeh to the marinade and turn to coat on both sides. 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 degrees Fahrenheit. Transfer the marinated tempeh to a lined baking sheet, reserving the residual marinade.
- Step 4: Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, flipping the tempeh slices over halfway through the cooking time.
- Serve: Toss the cooked tempeh with the reserved marinade and enjoy warm. This is great in Vegetable Yellow Curry or in a salad drizzled with Creamy Mango Salad Dressing.
