Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Tempeh
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Soy sauce (or coconut aminos, for gluten-free)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the tempeh into very thin slices, about 1/8-inch thick. The thinner the slices, the crispier the chips will be.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and soy sauce (or coconut aminos).
Brush both sides of each tempeh slice with the seasoning mixture, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
Arrange the tempeh slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap.
Bake the tempeh chips for 10 minutes, then flip them over and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning, as tempeh can crisp up quickly near the end of the baking time.
Remove the chips from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes to firm up even more.
Serve the tempeh chips immediately as a snack or use them as a crispy topping for salads and bowls. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
