Marinated Baked Tempeh

This recipe is my favorite way to prepare tempeh for salads, noodle dishes, and grain bowls. A simple 6-ingredient marinade infuses it with savory flavor.

Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 (8-ounce) package tempeh
  • ¼ cup tamari
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha
  • freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Cut the tempeh into cubes, place in a steamer basket, and set over a pot with 1-inch of water. Bring the water to a simmer, cover, and steam for 10 minutes. This helps the tempeh become tender and ready to soak up more flavor from the marinade.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the tamari, vinegar, maple syrup, olive oil, sriracha, and several grinds of pepper. Place the tempeh in a shallow dish and pour the marinade on top to coat. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  4. Arrange the cubes in a single layer on the baking sheet, reserving the excess marinade.
  5. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush more of the marinade onto the cubes. Bake for 10 more minutes, or until the cubes are charred around the edges. Enjoy on salads or grain bowls.

Notes

  • For grilled tempeh: Cut the block into triangles and follow the marinating instructions above. Preheat a grill to medium. Spray the grill and grill the tempeh 7-9 minutes on the first side. Remove from grill, dip it back into the marinade to coat, then return it to the grill and grill the second side for 4-5 minutes, or until deep char marks form.
