Ingredients

• 8 oz Tempeh
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Smoked paprika
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tbsp Soy sauce (or coconut aminos, for gluten-free)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Slice the tempeh into very thin slices, about 1/8-inch thick. The thinner the slices, the crispier the chips will be.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and soy sauce (or coconut aminos).

Step 4

Brush both sides of each tempeh slice with the seasoning mixture, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.

Step 5

Arrange the tempeh slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap.

Step 6

Bake the tempeh chips for 10 minutes, then flip them over and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning, as tempeh can crisp up quickly near the end of the baking time.

Step 7

Remove the chips from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes to firm up even more.

Step 8

Serve the tempeh chips immediately as a snack or use them as a crispy topping for salads and bowls. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
