Tempeh

This modern take on the classic B.L.T. uses protein-packed marinated tempeh as a vegetarian substitute for bacon, grills the bread for charred flavor, and adds roasted cherry tomatoes for a sweet finish.

Yield Makes 2 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 batch Tempeh Bacon
2 cups cherry tomatoes (about 10 ounces), halved
2 tablespoons regular or vegan mayonnaise
4 slices sourdough bread, grilled or toasted
1/2 large avocado, thinly sliced just before serving
1/4 cup basil leaves, coarsely torn
2 crisp romaine leaves

Steps:

  • Prepare marinade for Tempeh Bacon in a shallow dish, adding tomatoes along with tempeh. Cover and chill at least 2 hours or up to 4.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange tempeh on one-half of sheet and tomatoes on remaining half in a single layer. Bake, tossing tempeh and basting with marinade after 10 minutes, until tempeh is crispy and tomatoes are shrunken and sweet, 30-33 minutes.
  • Divide mayonnaise between 2 slices of bread. Top with tempeh and roasted tomatoes. Arrange avocado slices, basil, and romaine over, then top with remaining slices to close sandwich.

I don't recommend this recipe. The tempeh bacon was tough and chewy, and the sandwich overall was very disappointing.

This sandwich was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some extra seasonings next time.

Overall, I thought this sandwich was good, but not great. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This sandwich is a bit too messy for my taste. I think I'll try using less sauce next time.

I found that the tempeh bacon didn't crisp up as much as I would have liked. I think I'll try cooking it for a longer period of time next time.

The tempeh bacon in this sandwich is a bit too smoky for my taste. I think I'll try using a different brand next time.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover tempeh. I always have some in my fridge, and it's so versatile.
