Easy Tempeh Bacon
Easy, smokey, delicious and vegan tempeh bacon. This homemade tempeh bacon is ready in just 20 minutes, and so much better than store-bought!
Ingredients
- 1 (250g) block tempeh
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup or agave syrup (adjust the quantity depending on how sweet you want the bacon to be)
- 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon Tabasco
- salt & pepper
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil for frying
Instructions
- Slice the tempeh in long strips as thin as possible but the slices shouldn't be too thin as they will start falling apart. So slice is very carefully.
- In a small bowl, whisk the soy or tamari sauce, olive oil, liquid smoke, smoked paprika, cumin, hot sauce, salt, and pepper.
- Take a container with a lid, and soak the tempeh slices for at least 10-15 minutes with the lid closed.
- Heat coconut oil in a frying pan on high heat, add the tempeh slices along with the leftover marinade and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side.
- Remove excess oil by laying the tempeh bacon on kitchen towels and serve.
Notes
Substitute Tabasco with any hot sauce
