Begin by preparing the ingredients: Wash and dry the lettuce leaves. Slice the tomato into thin slices. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, peel, and slice into thin strips.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the tempeh bacon slices for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are crispy and golden. Remove from heat and set aside.
Lightly toast the slices of whole grain bread to your preferred level of crispiness.
Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on one side of each slice of toasted bread.
On two of the slices, layer the lettuce leaves, followed by slices of tomato, and avocado. Sprinkle the avocado slices with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Top each sandwich with 4 slices of the cooked tempeh bacon.
Finish by placing the remaining toasted bread slices on top, mayonnaise side down, to complete the sandwich.
Slice the sandwiches in half, if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious Vegetarian BLTA Sandwich!
