Ingredients

• Tempeh - 200 grams
• Maple syrup - 2 tablespoons
• Dijon mustard - 1 tablespoon
• Apple cider vinegar - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Smoked paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat.
2. In a bowl, mix the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, smoked paprika, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
