A flavorful and easy-to-make dish inspired by Caribbean spices, perfect for a quick and healthy meal.
Mix the garlic powder, onion powder, brown sugar, salt, allspice, black pepper, ginger, cayenne, and thyme in a small bowl.
Ensure the spices are evenly mixed for consistent flavor.
Cut the tempeh into bite-sized pieces.
Cutting the tempeh into uniform pieces ensures even cooking.
Boil water in a saucepan and add the tempeh. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
Simmering helps to soften the tempeh and reduce its natural bitterness.
Drain the tempeh and pat it dry with paper towels.
Drying the tempeh ensures it crisps up nicely when fried.
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the tempeh pieces and cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown on all sides, about 10 minutes.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even browning.
Sprinkle the spice mix over the cooked tempeh and toss to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 1 minute to toast the spices.
Toasting the spices enhances their aroma and flavor.
Serve the tempeh bites hot with your choice of sides or dipping sauce.
Garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro for added freshness.
