Tempeh is a traditional fermented soy superfood, packed with protein and fiber and high in calcium and iron, and with its wonderfully nutty texture, baked tempeh becomes a versatile mix and match component. It’s perfect on a vegan BLT sandwich (baked tempeh, lettuce, and tomato), but it’s equally at home over a chopped green salad, or in a hot wrap with rice and grilled vegetables.

This extremely easy marinade from Sweet Potato Soul  translates into very big flavor. Allow for a bit of planning – you will want to marinate for about an hour before baking.

If you aren’t sure you like tempeh, give this version a chance. Since tempeh happily absorbs neighboring flavors like mushrooms and tofu would, feel free to personalize it further with your own favorite seasonings!
