Servings: 4
Calories: 142kcal
Ingredients
- 8 oz. tempeh 1 package; cut into ½" slices
for the sauce:
- ¼ cup coconut aminos or soy sauce
- 1 ½ tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 garlic clove minced
- ¼ teaspoon ginger optional
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
Instructions
- Slice tempeh into ½ inch slices (don't slice them too thin!). Place the tempeh directly into your air fryer, making sure none of them are touching.
- Air fry the tempeh at 400° for 8 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- While the tempeh is cooking, make the sauce: Add the coconut aminos (or soy sauce), maple syrup, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and cornstarch to a small saucepan. Heat over medium-low and whisk until everything is combined and sauce has thickened a bit.
- As soon as the tempeh is done, transfer it to the saucepan and stir until it's coated in the sauce. Enjoy!
