Ginger Cumin-Infused Tempeh 🥘
Updated: Jul 12, 2022
Tempeh need some pizazz? Try this bold, flavorful, and nutrient-packed recipe to spice up your meal! Turmeric is anti-inflammatory, garlic has natural antibacterial and antiviral properties, and cumin, ginger, and lemon all enhance digestion. Tempeh is a fermented soy product, so it’s easier to digest than other soy products, and is high in protein and vitamin B. See the full recipe below.
Ingredients
1 package tempeh (check for gluten-free, if needed)
1 tablespoon Bragg Liquid Aminos (or low sodium Tamari sauce)
2 cloves of fresh garlic, pressed
½ inch of fresh ginger, finely chopped
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin powder
Juice of 1/2 of 1 lemon
Pinch of black pepper
Instructions
1. Thinly slice tempeh.
2. In a bowl, mix tempeh with all other ingredients and let marinate for at least 1 hour. (Put in the fridge if more than 1 hour). If you don't have an hour, the tempeh will still taste great!
3. Spread tempeh on a lightly oiled cast iron dish, glass or other oven-safe baking dish (extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil is best).
4. Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly browned.
Suggested Accompaniment
Serve with sautéed veggies and wild rice or sweet potatoes. Enjoy!
