• How To Make This Tasty Tempeh Bacon (Click to open)
  1. Very thinly slice the tempeh.
  2. As thin as you can slice it without it falling apart.
  3. Combine all ingredients in a shallow dish.
  4. Soak tempeh in marinade for 1-2 minutes.
  5. Turn saute pan on high, add 1-2 tsp olive oil. Lay the tempeh flat on skillet. One layer only. Drizzle a bit of excess marinade onto skillet-it should be sizzling a lot now.
  6. Allow to cook for 1 minute, then flip. Allow to cook for another minute on other side-or until both sides are crisp and browned.
  7. Lay cooked tempeh bacon on parchment paper to cool. Sprinkle with black pepper and thick sea salt to taste.
  8. For a crisper tempeh bacon, do not pour excess marinade in skillet, and allow all liquid to steam off of pan while cooking.

  Serve Your Tempeh Bacon.
