Servings: 4
Ingredients
- Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon
- Ginger
- 2 teaspoons, freshly grated
- Garlic
- 2 cloves, minced
- Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons
- Soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons
- Maple syrup
- 1/4 cup
- Tempeh
- 8 ounces, cut into thin slices
Instructions
- Start by slicing the tempeh into thin, even pieces.
- To prepare the marinade, in a medium-sized bowl, combine the maple syrup, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, and freshly grated ginger. Mix well until the ingredients are completely incorporated.
- Immerse the tempeh slices into the marinade, ensuring that each piece is evenly coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 2 hours for maximum flavor infusion. If time allows, leaving it to marinate overnight is recommended.
- Preheat your grill to medium heat. Lightly oil the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Remove the tempeh from the marinade, reserving the excess marinade for basting during grilling.
- Place the tempeh slices on the preheated grill. Cook for 5 minutes on each side, frequently basting with the reserved marinade to keep the tempeh moist and flavorful.
- Once the tempeh has a beautiful caramelized exterior, remove it from the grill. Serve hot with your favorite sides.
