Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams tempeh
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons water
- (as needed) cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Slice the tempeh into very thin pieces, about 1/8 inch thick. The thinner the slices, the crispier the chips will be.
In a small bowl, mix the low-sodium soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, smoked paprika, maple syrup, and water to create a marinade.
Arrange the tempeh slices in a shallow dish or container and pour the marinade over them, making sure each piece is evenly coated. Let the tempeh marinate for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Remove the tempeh slices from the marinade and pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess liquid. This will help them crisp up better in the oven.
Lay the tempeh slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Bake the tempeh chips in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, then flip each piece over and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them during the last few minutes to avoid burning.
Allow the chips to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them on their own or with your favorite dip!
