Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 Plain or wholegrain bagel
- 100 grams Tempeh
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 large Tomato
- 4 large Lettuce leaves
- 1 medium Avocado
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Slice the tempeh into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick) to mimic bacon strips.
In a small bowl, whisk together the smoked paprika, soy sauce, maple syrup, and olive oil to create a marinade.
Place the tempeh strips in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let the tempeh marinate for at least 5 minutes.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, lay the marinated tempeh strips in the skillet.
Cook the tempeh for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and slightly crispy.
While the tempeh is cooking, slice the tomato into thick slices and rinse the lettuce leaves.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Add lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Mash the avocado until smooth and creamy.
Slice each bagel in half and toast the halves until golden brown using a toaster or on a skillet.
Once toasted, spread the mashed avocado evenly over the bottom halves of the bagels.
Layer on the cooked tempeh bacon, followed by the lettuce leaves and tomato slices.
Place the top halves of the bagels on each to complete the sandwich.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh Vegan BLT Bagel!
