Ingredients
- ⅓ cup peanut butter
- ½ cup orange juice
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce*
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- ½ teaspoon sesame oil
- 10 ounces tempeh cubed
Instructions
- In a tupperware that will fit the cubed tempeh, whisk together all of the ingredients except for the tempeh.
- Once combined, add in the cubed tempeh and stir until all of the tempeh is coated in the peanut sauce. Place the tempeh in the fridge and allow it to marinate for 4-24 hours.
- When ready to bake the tempeh, preheat your oven to 375F/190C and line a baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Pour the tempeh out onto the line baking tray and spread the cubes out so that they are not touching. If there is leftover marinade in the tupperware you can spread it onto the tempeh bites that look a little dry.
- Bake the tempeh on the middle rack for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown on top.
- Enjoy with steamed rice, roasted veggies and cilantro!
Notes
*To make these bites completely gluten free, substitute the soy sauce for tamari!
