Ingredients

Tempeh Bacon

Sandwich Assembly

Instructions

  • In a shallow pan, combine the soy sauce, liquid smoke, oil, maple syrup, and pepper. Mix to combine then submerge the tempeh strips into the marinade. Let marinate for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the marinated tempeh onto the baking sheet and pour the marinade on top.
  • Bake for about 10-15 minutes until crispy on the outside but soft on the inside.
  • To make the sandwich, generously mayo one side of the bread and place into a hot pan over medium-high heat. Let cook for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the pan.
  • Spread another layer of mayo on the non-toasted side of the bread and layer with lettuce, cooked tempeh bacon, tomatoes, and sprinkle of basil. Place the second piece of bread on top, slice, and serve!
