Prep Time:10 minutes
Cook Time:15 minutes
Marinade Time:30 minutes
Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • 1 8oz block tempeh
  • 2 tbsp peanut butter
  • 1 ½ tbsp hoisin sauce* gluten-free if necessary
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce* or tamari for gluten-free
  • 2 tsp lime juice
  • ½ tsp ground ginger
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 2-3 tbsp water

Instructions

  • Fill a saucepan with an inch of water and bring to a boil. Add tempeh and reduce heat to simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes to remove any bitterness and soften the tempeh.
  • Remove tempeh from water and cut into desired shape.
  • Mix together remaining ingredients. Add extra water as needed to thin the sauce for marinating.
  • Place tempeh in a container or zip lock bag and pour marinade over. Mix the tempeh around so all sides get coated in sauce. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, the longer the better.
  • AIR FRYER: Air-fry at 350°F for 10-12 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  • OVEN: Bake on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet at 375°F for 20-30 minutes until golden brown and crisp. Flip the tempeh after about 15 minutes.
  • Brush on any remaining marinade and serve.
