1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup ketchup
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoon soy sauce (or gluten free tamari)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 (8oz) package tempeh
1 tablespoon avocado oil (or another high heat oil)

  • Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Arrange the tempeh in a single layer in the pan.
  • Let cook for 5 minutes on one side until browned, then flip and continue to cook until browned on the other side.
  • Once the tempeh is browned and the sauce is thickened, toss the tempeh with the sauce until evenly coated.
  • Divide into 4 servings and sprinkle with green onion and sesame seeds.
  • Serve over rice, if desired.
