Instructions

  • Slice the tempeh so that you have 18 thin strips.
  • In a shallow bowl, mix together the oil, tamari, maple syrup, salt, liquid smoke, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Add the tempeh and mix to coat. Set aside to marinate for 10-15 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking tray with baking paper. Place the marinated tempeh on the baking paper and arrange in a single layer. Reserve the remaining marinade for later.
  • Place the tray in the oven and bake the tempeh for 8-10 minutes. Now flip the tempeh over, brush with the remaining marinade and bake for another 6-8 minutes, or until browned and slightly crispy.
