Tempeh Cubes
Tempeh cubes are great packed in lunches, and to snack on anytime of day. Tempeh is a delicious and nutritious fermented food made from soybeans. It's a wonderful source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. We like grating tempeh into pasta sauce and Chunky Chili.
Ingredients:
- 16 oz tempeh (2 packages)
- 2 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
- 1 Tablespoon coconut oil (melted) (or other oil)
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Cut tempeh into cubes and place in a large bowl.
- In a small bowl, combine all remaining ingredients.
- Pour over tempeh cubes and toss until all liquid is absorbed.
- Place tempeh on a lightly oiled large cookie sheet. Instead of oil, use a silicone mat or parchment paper.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes. They’ll still be soft and a bit moist. Bake longer if you want a drier texture.
Tips/Variations:
- Feel free to sprinkle unbaked tempeh cubes with garlic powder, pepper, thyme, oregano—any spices you enjoy!
Yields: about 4-6 servings
