SMOKY TEMPEH BACON

This easy recipe can be assembled the night before and prepared in the morning for a weekend breakfast or brunch. Great as a BLT. The tempeh strips can be left marinating in the fridge 2 to 3 days. Just be sure to eat the bacon as soon as it's cooked-otherwise, it may lose its crispness. Adapted from Vegetarian Times(April 2008).

Yield 24 slices

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (8 ounce) package tempeh, sliced into 24 very thin slices
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried ancho chile powder (or to taste)
2 teaspoons liquid smoke (optional)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil (or light olive oil)
smoked paprika (optional)

Steps:

  • Lay the tempeh slices in 2 13- x 9-inch baking dishes. Bring soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, cumin, ancho chile powder, and ½ cup water to a boil in small saucepan. Boil 1 minute, then remove from heat, and stir in liquid smoke, if using. Pour over tempeh slices. Let cool, then cover and chill 2 hours, or overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 300°F.
  • Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Carefully transfer tempeh slices to prepared baking sheet, and discard marinade(or save and use again for more tempeh bacon).
  • Brush slices with vegetable oil, and sprinkle with paprika, if desired. Bake 10 to 15 minutes, or until beginning to brown. Flip tempeh slices, brush with oil, and bake 5 to 7 minutes more, or until crisp and dark brown.
