This homemade tempeh bacon is a versatile vegan staple that brings a delicious smoky depth to any plant-based meal. By marinating protein-rich tempeh in a blend of maple syrup, soy sauce, and smoked paprika, you create a savoury, salt-sweet profile that mimics traditional flavours beautifully. The nutty texture of the fermented soya beans provides a satisfying bite that crisps up perfectly in the oven.
Whether you are looking for a healthy breakfast side or a punchy filling for a classic vegan BLT, this recipe is a reliable kitchen favourite. It is an excellent make-ahead option for busy weeks, as the strips store well and maintain their firm texture. Serve them alongside scrambled tofu or crumbled over a fresh summer salad for an instant boost of umami flavour.
