Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 8- oz packages 16oz total tempeh
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- *for the lemon pepper marinade*
- ¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice about 2.5 lemons
- ¼ cup white wine
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- First, prepare your tempeh. Unwrap it and slice it into strips - not too thin or they will fall apart!
- Heat up a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat, and add 2 tablespoons of oil. Add the tempeh strips and cook, flipping once or twice, until golden brown and fragrant.
- While the tempeh cooks, prepare the marinade. Juice your lemons into a medium bowl, add in the remaining marinade ingredients, and whisk it all together.
- When the tempeh is nice and golden brown, add the marinade into the pan, toss it all together, and then remove it from heat. The excess liquid will evaporate quickly.
- Serve the lemon pepper tempeh immediately with your desired side dishes. Enjoy!
