Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Using a sharp knife or mandoline, slice the tempeh into very thin slices, about 1/8 inch thick, to ensure the chips become crispy.
In a small bowl, whisk together the tamari, olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Place the tempeh slices in a single layer inside a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the tempeh slices, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for 10 minutes.
Arrange the marinated tempeh slices on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they don't overlap.
Lightly spray the tempeh slices with cooking spray to help them crisp up while baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove the baking sheet, flip the tempeh slices over, and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chips are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the tempeh chips from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes. They will become crispier as they cool.
Serve immediately as a snack or alongside your favorite dips. Store any leftover chips in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
