Marinated Peanut Tempeh (7 Ingredients!)

tempeh ((if GF, ensure gluten-free friendly))

Tbsp sesame oil

Tbsp salted creamy peanut ((or almond, cashew, or sunbutter))

Tbsp gluten-free tamari ((or soy sauce if not GF))

Tbsp lime juice

maple syrup

To remove bitterness from the tempeh, add to rimmed skillet or saucepan filled with 1 inch of water and bring to a low boil over medium heat. Steam tempeh for a total of 10-12 minutes, flipping once at the halfway point. Then rinse, pat dry, and cut into thin, bite-size pieces. I prefer slicing the tempeh in half lengthwise then cutting into small triangles. (The smaller the pieces, the better they can soak up the marinade.) Set aside.

Mix marinade by adding chili, sesame oil, peanut butter, tamari, lime juice, and maple syrup. Whisk to combine. Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more crushed chili for heat, maple syrup for sweetness, lime juice for acidity, or tamari for saltiness. Don't be shy - you want this extremely flavorful!

Add the sliced tempeh to the marinade and toss to coat. Then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably 24 hours. I found that 24 hours infused the most flavor! While marinating, toss/stir occasionally to ensure even coating. (Pro tip: Just before baking, drizzle with a bit more maple syrup and tamari for extra flavor. Optional but recommended!)

Once marinated, preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Add tempeh and reserve any leftover marinade to brush/coat the tempeh once baked.

Bake for 22-30 minutes or until caramelized and deep golden brown. Remove from oven and brush/coat with any remaining marinade.

This tempeh is delicious for adding to Asian-inspired dishes like spring rolls, salads, and noodle dishes! Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator up to 3 days. Best when fresh.

Tempeh and peanut sauce both have roots in Indonesian cuisine. Tempeh is a fermented soy product that’s made of cooked, dehulled soybeans that are inoculated with mold, packed, and incubated until the beans are bound together by the mycelium. Sounds like weird science, but this fermentation process creates prebiotics which have been known to promote gut health.

Marinated Peanut Tempeh (7 Ingredients!) | Minimalist Baker Recipes

My basic recipe for the most DELICIOUS Easy Baked Tempeh!

Easy Baked Tempeh

1 package of tempeh, roughly 8 oz

soy sauce

apple cider vinegar

2 cloves of garlic, finely minced or 1 teaspoon of garlic powder

teaspoon of liquid smoke, optional but highly recommended

olive oil

For the optional sauce: corn starch

Prepare the tempeh by cutting it into cubes, triangles, or thin slices. See photo above for reference.*

Make the marinade by whisking together the soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic, liquid smoke, olive oil, and maple syrup in a shallow bowl. Toss in the tempeh and let marinate for 30 minutes or even a few hours.

When ready to cook, pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a large baking tray with parchment paper.

Line the tempeh pieces on one side of the baking sheet and pour about 1/2 teaspoon of the marinade on each piece of the tempeh. As desired, you can reserve the marinade and use it to make a sauce at the end which is what I did. Directions below.

Bake tempeh for 15 minutes*, flipping halfway through.

Optional sauce: whisk together 1 1/2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 1/4 cup of water. Mix the remaining marinade and the cornstarch slurry in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stirring constantly, cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. It’ll go from liquid to a thick sauce all of a sudden so make sure to watch it!
