Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 40 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
Yields: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 8- ounce block tempeh cut into 1/4-inch thick slices
  • 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/3 cup coconut aminos or 2 tablespoons tamari or soy sauce + 3 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons maple syrup agave, or coconut nectar (optional: adds extra sweetness if you like the sweet/salty duo)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350F. Lightly spray or coat a square, nonstick, 8 x 8 baking dish with vegetable oil or line it with parchment. Arrange the tempeh slices in the dish.
  • Whisk together the vinegar, aminos or tamari/soy/water mixture, mustard, and maple syrup if using. Pour this marinade over the tempeh.
  • Cover the baking dish with foil and bake, covered, for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the marinade is completely reduced and sticky and the tempeh is dark and glazed. Serve in salads, bowls, or as a side dish with your favorite meal!
