Number of Servings: 3

Ingredients

    5 ounces tempeh (2/3 a standard 8 ounce pack)
    1-2 Tbsp maple or agave syrup
    1 Tbsp olive oil
    1/2 tsp cumin
    a dash of cayenne
    1 tsp liquid smoke (opt'l)
    1 tsp soy sauce
    1/2 tsp thick black pepper
    for pan: 2 tsp olive oil
    *if you don't have liquid smoke use these BBQ spice combos:
    (garlic, pepper, paprika and onion)

Directions

1. Very thinly slice the tempeh.

2. As thin as you can slice it without it falling apart.

3. Combine all ingredients in a shallow dish.

4. Soak tempeh in marinade for 1-2 minutes.

5. Turn saute pan on high, add 1-2 tsp olive oil. Lay the tempeh flat on skillet. One layer only. Drizzle a bit of excess marinade onto skillet-it should be sizzling a lot now.

6. Allow to cook for 1 minute, then flip. Allow to cook for another minute on other side-or until both sides are crisp and browned.

7. Lay cooked tempeh on parchment paper to cool. Sprinkle with black pepper and thick sea salt to taste.

8. For a crisper tempeh bacon, do not pour excess marinade in skillet, and allow all liquid to steam off of pan while cooking.
