Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the tempeh into thin, even slices, about 1/8-inch thick, ensuring they are all of similar thickness for even cooking.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together soy sauce, olive oil, maple syrup, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the tempeh slices to the marinade, tossing gently to ensure all slices are well-coated. Allow the tempeh to marinate for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Arrange the marinated tempeh slices onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes. After 12 minutes, flip the tempeh slices and bake for an additional 10-13 minutes, or until the tempeh is golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and allow the tempeh chips to cool slightly on the baking sheet to achieve maximum crispiness.
Serve immediately as a snack or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
