Tips:

Choose firm tempeh. This will help it hold up better during broiling.
Slice the tempeh thinly. This will help it cook evenly.
Marinate the tempeh in a flavorful sauce. This will help it absorb flavor and stay moist during broiling.
Broil the tempeh on a high heat setting. This will help it get crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Keep an eye on the tempeh while it is broiling. It can burn easily, so it is important to remove it from the oven as soon as it is cooked to your desired doneness.

Conclusion:

Lemon Broiled Tempeh is a delicious and healthy plant-based protein option. It is easy to make and can be served as a main course or a side dish. The tempeh is marinated in a flavorful lemon-herb sauce and then broiled until it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
