Ingredients
  

Tempeh Bacon
  • 1 cup tempeh sliced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
Sandwich
  • 4 slices bread
  • 1 cup lettuce
  • 1 tomato sliced
  • 2 tbsp mayo or vegan mayo

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Pan
  • Spatula
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board

Method
 

  1. Mix marinade and coat tempeh slices evenly.
  2. Cook tempeh until crisp edges and deep color form.
  3. Toast bread lightly for structure and texture.
  4. Layer lettuce, tomato, and tempeh on bread.
  5. Spread mayo, assemble sandwich, and serve fresh.

Notes

Cook tempeh longer for crisp texture or less for softer bite. Marinate longer for deeper flavor. Freeze cooked tempeh if needed. Customize with sauces or toppings. Store assembled sandwich briefly to avoid soggy bread.
