Ingredients

Steps

1. Begin by crumbling the tempeh into small pieces and placing it in a bowl.
2. In a separate bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, chili powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
3. Pour the marinade over the crumbled tempeh and mix well to ensure all pieces are coated. Let it sit for 10 minutes.
4. While the tempeh marinates, preheat a skillet over medium heat.
5. Add the marinated tempeh to the skillet and cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally until golden brown and crispy.
