Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Tempeh

    In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, maple syrup, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and olive oil. Cut the adzuki bean tempeh into thin strips and add to the marinade. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Tempeh

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated tempeh strips and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until crispy and caramelized. Remove from heat.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the tempeh is cooking, wash and dry the lettuce, slice the tomato, and mash the avocado in a bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Toast the Bread

    Toast the slices of whole grain bread until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Assemble the B.L.T.A

    Spread vegan mayo on one side of each slice of toasted bread. Layer the lettuce, tomato slices, cooked tempeh, avocado, and alfalfa sprouts. Top with another slice of bread, mayo side down.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Cut the sandwiches in half and serve immediately.
