Delicious Gluten-Free Tempeh Burgers
Ingredients
- 1 8oz block tempeh
- 1 small onion
- 2 slices bread
- 3/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 3/4 teaspoon chili powder
- 3/4 teaspoon chipotle powder
- 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1.5 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon gluten-free tamari or soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons olive oil (optional)
- 2 tablespoons flour
- salt to taste
Preparation
Gently boil the tempeh for 5 minutes to reduce bitterness
Rinse under cold water
Use hands to crumble 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 add to the tempeh mixture
Add the spices, nutritional yeast, tamari or soy sauce, and optional olive oil
Use hands to incorporate the spices into the tempeh crumbles
Add the flour and salt to taste
Form the mixture into about 5-6 burgers, each about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick
Bake on a lined sheet at 375°F until golden brown, flipping halfway through for about 20 minutes, or cook in a little oil in a non-stick fry pan
Notes
This recipe has a gluten-free option and can be made oil-free by using vegetable broth for sautéing
Whole grain bread is suggested, but most types of bread will work
