How to Make Tempeh Bacon

🧂 Ingredients

• 8 ounce package tempeh
• 1/4 cup soy sauce or tamari
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/8 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

• 1 Remove tempeh from package and slice into bacon-size strips. I prefer to slice
  tempeh thinly from the short side to create small bacon pieces. Place in a
  large, shallow bowl.
• 2 Whisk together the soy sauce, cumin, paprika, liquid smoke, apple cider vinegar,
  and maple syrup and pour over the tempeh. Marinate for at least 30 minutes,
  turning once.
• 3 When ready to fry, heat the oil in a large skillet [https://amzn.to/2Qe0IJw]
  over medium heat. Add the tempeh in a single layer and pan-fry for 3-4 minutes
  per side until golden and crispy. Remove tempeh from pan and continue with the
  remaining tempeh. You may need more oil to prevent sticking.
• 4 Serve! Enjoy on Tempeh BLT Sandwiches
