Spicy Cilantro Oven Fried Tempeh

Miled Finianos

@MILEDEATS
This recipe is based on a Lebanese dish called Batata Harra, which translates to “spicy potatoes”—but we tempehfied it! By subbing LightLife® tempeh for the potatoes, it becomes a delicious and healthy vegan side dish that’s perfect for any setting.
Serves: 2-3
Prep and Cook Time: 60 minutes

Ingredients:

For the tempeh
1 (8 oz) package of LightLife® Original Tempeh
3 tbsp Olive Oil
Kosher Salt
4 Garlic Cloves, minced
4 tsp Aleppo Pepper or Crushed Red Pepper
1 cup Chopped Cilantro
Black Pepper to taste
Lemon or Lime to serve
For the aioli
2 Garlic Cloves, minced
1 tbsp Tahini
Juice of 1⁄2 a Lemon
1⁄2 cup Vegan Mayo
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.

2. Cut tempeh into 1⁄2″ cubes and place into a bowl.

3. Drizzle 1 tbsp olive oil and toss to coat the tempeh.

4. Spread the oiled tempeh onto an aluminum foil–lined baking tray, sprinkle with kosher salt, and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the tempeh browns around the edges.

5. Meanwhile, in a pan on medium heat, heat the remaining 2 tbsp of olive oil and add the garlic, aleppo pepper, and half the chopped cilantro and sauté until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes, then set aside.

6. For the aioli, mix all the ingredients together and salt to taste.

7. Once the tempeh is cooked, toss with the spicy cilantro mixture, adding the remaining fresh cilantro, and serve warm with the aioli.
