Vegan Protein Salad

Step 1

To make the marinated tempeh, mix the marinade ingredients together in shallow dish then add the cubed tempeh. Let sit for 20-30 minutes. Option to press the tofu during this time. Bake at 400 F for 20 minutes on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Once it’s baked, spoon any remaining marinade over the cubes.

Step 2

To make the baked tofu, toss the cubed tofu with the soy sauce, garlic powder and a pinch of salt and pepper. Transfer to a parchment-paper lined baking pan and bake at 400 F for 20-30 minutes until browed. You can bake it at the same time as the tempeh.

Step 4
