Best Baked Tempeh Recipes

BASIC OVEN-BAKED MARINATED TEMPEH

Steps:

• 1. Combine the tamari, vinegar, and Pickapeppa in a nonreactive dish and stir to combine. If using additional seasoning (see below), add it here. Add the tempeh. Marinate at room temperature, turning occasionally, for 20 minutes to 1 hour or refrigerated for up to 2 days.
• 2. Fifteen minutes before you are ready to cook the tempeh, preheat the oven to 375°F.
• 3. Place the marinated tempeh pieces on a nonstick baking sheet or one that has been sprayed with cooking spray, allowing plenty of air space between chunks. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, then flip the pieces over and bake for another 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and use as desired.
• Seasoning Tempeh
• The above is a basic recipe, designed to be compatible with almost any finished recipe. But the marinade can certainly be zapped up to good effect.
• Try any one to three of the following additions:
• • 1 to 3 cloves garlic, pressed
• • 1 to 2 teaspoons peeled grated ginger
• • 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• • 1 to 2 teaspoons honey
• • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• • 1 to 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil

NEW WAVE-NEW FAVE BAKED TOFU OR TEMPEH

Steps:

• 1. Combine the peanut butter, tamari, honey, apple cider vinegar, garlic, ginger, tomato paste, chipotle, and orange juice and zest in a food processor and buzz until the ginger is finely chopped.
• 2. To use the marinade, place the tofu in a nonreactive bowl or zip-top bag and pour or spoon this luscious mixture over it. Refrigerate the tofu, covered, overnight.
• 3. The next day, preheat the oven to 375°F and generously spray a nonreactive baking dish with oil (I use an 8 or 9 by 12-inch deep glass baking dish).
• 4. Place the tofu and its marinade in the baking dish, spreading the marinade as needed so both sides of the tofu slices get a good smear of it. Bake, turning once, until fragrant, firmed up, and golden to deep brown in spots with the marinade considerably thickened, about 30 minutes.
