Step 1

Cut your tempeh into strips.

Step 2

Heat a teaspoon of olive oil on a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

While the pan is heating, whisk together the soy sauce, maple syrup, liquid smoke and garlic powder. Set aside.

Step 4

Once your pan is hot, spread the tempeh strips in a single layer on the pan to cook. Allow the strips to cook for a few minutes until golden brown before flipping them over to brown the other side.

Step 5

Once both sides of the tempeh are brown, pour the sauce over the tempeh (you may not need to use it all!) and cook the tempeh for another few minutes or until both sides are coated in the sauce and the tempeh strips are caramelized. Remove the tempeh from the pan onto a plate.

Step 6

To prepare your TLT, spread some hummus or avocado on bread and add lettuce, tomato, the tempeh bacon and whatever other veggies you desire.

Step 7

Enjoy!
