Vegan BLT Sandwich Recipe with Tempeh Bacon

Made with salty tempeh strips, crisp lettuce and juicy tomatoes, this Vegan BLT sandwich is the best plant-based version of the classic BLT!

📝 Ingredients

• 1 block tempeh (about 250 grams)
• 1/4 cup less-sodium soy sauce*
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1/4-1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke
• dash garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 4 slices of bread*
• Lettuce
• Tomato (sliced)
• Vegan mayo (avocado or hummus)
• Shredded veggies

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Cut your tempeh into strips.
2. 2Heat a teaspoon of olive oil on a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
3. 3While the pan is heating, whisk together the soy sauce, maple syrup, liquid smoke and garlic powder. Set aside.
4. 4Once your pan is hot, spread the tempeh strips in a single layer on the pan to cook. Allow the strips to cook for a few minutes until golden brown before flipping them over to brown the other side.
5. 5Once both sides of the tempeh are brown, pour the sauce over the tempeh (you may not need to use it all!) and cook the tempeh for another few minutes or until both sides are coated in the sauce and the tempeh strips are caramelized. Remove the tempeh from the pan onto a plate.
6. 6To prepare your TLT, spread some hummus or avocado on bread and add lettuce, tomato, the tempeh bacon and whatever other veggies you desire.
7. 7Enjoy!
