1
Prepare the Tempeh
Slice the tempeh into thin strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
2
Make the Marinade
In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, smoked paprika, maple syrup, liquid smoke, and black pepper until well combined.
3
Marinate the Tempeh
Add the tempeh strips to the marinade, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight in the refrigerator for more flavor).
4
Cook the Tempeh
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated tempeh strips and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are crispy and browned.
5
Serve
Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving. Use as a bacon substitute in sandwiches, salads, or as a snack.
