A delightful and easy-to-make tempeh recipe infused with Italian herbs and spices.
Cut the tempeh into bite-sized cubes.
Cutting the tempeh into uniform pieces ensures even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, thyme, basil, and rosemary to create the marinade.
Mix the marinade thoroughly to ensure all the flavors are well combined.
Place the tempeh cubes in a container with a lid, pour the marinade over them, and shake gently to coat all pieces evenly.
Shaking the container helps distribute the marinade evenly without breaking the tempeh.
Refrigerate the marinated tempeh for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.
Marinating overnight allows the tempeh to absorb maximum flavor.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the marinated tempeh along with any remaining marinade.
Using a non-stick skillet prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Cook the tempeh for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until it is golden brown and caramelized.
Turning the tempeh frequently ensures even browning.
Serve the Herbed Tempeh Bites immediately or store them in a covered container in the refrigerator.
Serve with a dipping sauce or as part of a meal for added enjoyment.
