Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the tempeh into very thin slices, about 1/8-inch thick. The thinner you slice them, the crispier the chips will be.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika if using.
Brush both sides of each tempeh slice with the seasoned olive oil mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Arrange the tempeh slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure not to overlap them.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through baking to ensure even crispiness.
Keep a close eye on the tempeh chips during the final 5 minutes, as they can burn quickly.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the chips cool on a wire rack. They will crisp up further as they cool.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
