Delicious Gluten-Free Tempeh Burgers
Ingredients
- 8 oz tempeh block
- 1 small onion
- 2 slices bread
- 3/4 tsp smoked paprika
- 3/4 tsp chili powder
- 3/4 tsp chipotle powder
- 3/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1.5 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 tbsp gluten-free tamari or soy sauce
- 2 tsp olive oil (optional)
- 2 tbsp flour
- Salt to taste
Preparation
Gently boil the tempeh block for 5 minutes to reduce bitterness
Rinse the tempeh under cold water
Use hands to crumble the tempeh into mince-like pieces
Sauté the onion in a little olive oil or vegetable broth
Add the sautéed onion to the tempeh crumbles
Crumble the bread into small chunks and mix into the tempeh crumbles
Add smoked paprika, chili powder, chipotle powder, garlic powder, nutritional yeast, tamari or soy sauce, and optional olive oil
Use hands to incorporate the spices into the tempeh mixture
Add flour to the mixture
Add salt to taste
Form the mixture into about 5 to 6 burgers, each about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick
Bake on a lined sheet at 375°F until golden brown, flipping halfway, for about 20 minutes, or cook in a little oil in a non-stick fry pan
Notes
Whole grain bread can be used, but most types of bread will work
For an oil-free option, use vegetable broth for sautéing instead of olive oil
