Crispy Tempeh

 Thought I would give tempeh a try.  I've heard so much about it and how easy it is to use in vegan meals.  

Tempeh is fermented soybeans that are bound together and sold in a flat square or rectangle.  Much firmer than tofu, easier to work with and packed with plenty of protein.

Found this recipe for crispy tempeh.  I enjoy this tossed in salads, hummus and veggie roll ups (in a tortilla) or just as a little snack.

Here's the recipe:

Crispy Tempeh

ingredients:

tempeh (8oz square)

garlic clove, minced

1 TBSP coco aminos (soy sauce, tamari, etc)

1 TBSP nutritional yeast

directions:

Oven 400F

Cube tempeh and place in bowl.

Pour coco aminos/soy sauce over tempeh and mix gently until all pieces are covered.  Add garlic and nutritional yeast and mix gently.

Place on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper/silicone baking mat.  Make sure pieces are spread apart.

Bake for 25 minutes or until crispy and golden brown.
