Ingredients

Scale

Here’s a complete list of the ingredients you’ll need, with precise measurements:

  • 8 slices whole-grain bread
  • 1 block (8 ounces) tempeh, sliced into thin strips
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon liquid smoke
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large tomato, sliced
  • 1 cup lettuce leaves
  • 1/4 cup vegan mayonnaise
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Let’s get cooking! Here’s a detailed, step-by-step guide:

Step 1: Prepare Marinade

In a shallow dish, whisk together the soy sauce, maple syrup, liquid smoke, and olive oil.

Step 2: Marinate Tempeh

Add the tempeh strips to the marinade, making sure they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes (or longer, up to a few hours in the refrigerator, for more flavor). The longer it marinates, the more flavorful it will be.

Step 3: Cook Tempeh Bacon

Heat a non-stick pan or skillet over medium heat.

Add the marinated tempeh strips to the pan (you may need to work in batches). Cook until browned and crispy on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 4: Toast Bread

Toast the whole-grain bread slices until golden brown. You can use a toaster or toast them in the oven.

Step 5: Assemble Sandwiches

Spread a generous layer of vegan mayonnaise on one side of each toasted bread slice.

Layer the tempeh bacon, tomato slices, and lettuce leaves on four of the bread slices. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Top with the remaining bread slices to form sandwiches.

Step 6: Serve Cut the sandwiches in half if desired.

Serve immediately.
