Jamaican Jerk-Spiced Tempeh Nuggets image

This combination of spices is popular in Jamaica and adds that this vegetarian and vegan tempeh recipe could be served either as an hors d'oeuvres or as a main dish. I imagine that this could easily be transferred to chicken breast cubes for an omni version

I found the tempeh nuggets to be a bit dry. I think I would add more liquid to the marinade next time.
