Tempeh

Protein-packed, fermented tempeh is thinly sliced and infused with a marinade of soy sauce, smoked paprika, and rich maple syrup to mimic the smoky-sweet flavor of the breakfast staple in this easy vegetarian recipe. Serve it with eggs for breakfast, add it to stir-fry, or layer it onto a veggie "B.L.T."

This recipe is a great way to meal prep for the week. I make a big batch of tempeh bacon on the weekend, and then use it throughout the week in sandwiches, salads, and wraps.

I made this recipe in my air fryer, and it turned out perfectly. The tempeh bacon was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

I'm allergic to soy, so I substituted tamari for the soy sauce. It worked great!

This recipe is a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of soy sauce next time.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover tempeh. I always have some in my fridge, and it's nice to have a quick and easy way to turn it into a delicious meal.

Meh. I found the tempeh bacon to be a bit too chewy for my taste. I think I'll stick to regular bacon next time.
