Tempeh BLT

This Tempeh BLT is a delicious twist on a classic American sandwich, featuring crispy tempeh bacon, fresh lettuce, and juicy tomatoes piled high on toasted bread. It's a hearty and satisfying meal that is entirely dairy-free and packed with flavor.

Ingredients

• tempeh - 200 grams
• soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• maple syrup - 1 tablespoon
• smoked paprika - 1 teaspoon
• olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• whole grain bread - 4 slices
• romaine lettuce - 4 leaves
• tomato - 1 large, sliced
• avocado - 1/2, sliced

Steps

1. Slice the tempeh into thin strips and place them in a bowl.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, maple syrup, smoked paprika, and black pepper.
3. Pour the marinade over the tempeh and let it sit for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
4. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and add the marinated tempeh strips.
5. Cook the tempeh for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden and crispy.
6. While the tempeh is cooking, toast the whole grain bread until golden brown.
