Extra Notes
Healthier homemade tempeh bacon: Thinly slice one 8 oz package of tempeh. Mix 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, 1 teaspoon liquid smoke, and 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika. Coat the tempeh in the marinade and let it sit for at least 10 minutes. Cook in a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes per side, until browned and crisp around the edges. This makes enough for several sandwiches; refrigerate the leftovers for another BLT.
