Vegan Blt With Baked Tempeh Bacon Recipes

VEGAN BLT WITH BAKED TEMPEH BACON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350° F (176° C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, add all marinade ingredients and whisk to combine well. Pour marinade into an 8 " rimmed shallow dish or baking dish.
• Cut tempeh into 1/4 " slices. * If you cut them thinner, the tempeh falls apart easily in the marinade.
• Now place the tempeh slices into your marinade. Gently flip to coat all sides well. Let the pieces marinate in the fridge for 15-20 minutes or longer if preferred.
• Place the marinated strips on your prepared baking sheet, leaving a little room in between each piece (*save leftover marinade). Bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly browned. *If the tempeh seems dry, you can lightly brush on some leftover marinade.
• Now gently flip each slice with tongs and bake 8-10 minutes more, until lightly browned and the surface is slightly crisp (*The inside remains soft). Watch closely to prevent burning. Remove from oven.
• To assemble your BLT, coat each bread slice with mayo and top with tomato slices, lettuce, and tempeh bacon. Close sandwich and cut if desired. Enjoy!

VEGAN BLT'S WITH TEMPEH BACON

Steps:

• First, prepare the tempeh bacon. Slice the tempeh in thin slices. In a shallow bowl, combine the vegetable oil, brown sugar, liquid smoke, and garlic salt.
• Toss in the tempeh pieces, and mix to combine. Set aside to marinade for 10-15 min.
• When ready to cook, heat a large nonstick pan over medium heat, and add in the tempeh pieces (be sure to leave the marinade behind in the bowl so it doesn't burn).
• Cook until crispy and caramelized on both sides. Add the reserved marinade and cook for 1 more minute so it thickens. Remove from pan.
• To build your BLT's, toast the bread if desired. Spread vegan mayo on one slice, then stack on the lettuce, tomato, and tempeh bacon. Top with avocado slices if desired. Enjoy immediately!
