Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces tempeh
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons vegan mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon whole grain mustard
- 4 pieces whole grain bread rolls
- 1 piece large tomato, sliced
- 1 piece avocado, sliced
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 0.5 piece red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Slice the tempeh into four even pieces.
In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, maple syrup, smoked paprika, garlic powder, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the tempeh slices in the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat.
Once heated, grill the tempeh for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until nicely charred and heated through.
In a small bowl, mix together the vegan mayonnaise and whole grain mustard.
Lightly toast the bread rolls on the grill, cut them open, and spread the mayo-mustard mixture on each side.
Assemble the sandwich by layering the grilled tempeh, lettuce leaf, tomato slice, avocado slice, and red onion on the bottom half of each roll. Top with the other half of the roll.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your vegan classic grilled chicken sandwich!
