Balsamic Baked Tempeh
Ingredients
- 1 8oz. package of tempeh
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons tamari
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon vegetable broth or water
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, or an additional 1 tablespoon vegetable broth to keep it oil free
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
Preparation
Slice tempeh into 1/4 strips
Steam in a covered pan for 20 minutes
While tempeh steaks prepare marinade by whisking all remaining ingredients in a small bowl
When tempeh is steamed, remove from heat and drain any excess water
Return to stove and place on a cool burner
Add marinade while tempeh is still warm
Toss tempeh to coat evenly with marinade
Let sit for at least 20 minutes, or as long as overnight in the fridge
Now you can either remove the marinated tempeh and bake on a liner baking sheet for 20-25 minutes in a 400 degree oven, or turn the heat back on under your pan and cook the tempeh directly in the pan you marinated it in!
