Air Fryer Tempeh
Air fryer tempeh? Yes, it's possible! And with the right marinade, it's delicious. Learn how to make the crispiest, most flavorful tempeh. All you need is an air fryer, some tempeh and a few simple ingredients.
Ingredients
- 7 ounces tempeh
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce *or tamari for gluten free
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil *preferably toasted
- 2 teaspoons mirin *or rice wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons ginger finely grated
Instructions
- If your air fryer requires preheating, preheat it to 375° F (190° C).
- In a shallow bowl, mix together the soy sauce, maple syrup, sesame oil, mirin and ginger.
- Chop the tempeh into ½ inch size cubes.
- Transfer the tempeh to the bowl with the marinade, and mix until it's evenly coated in marinade. Allow the tempeh to marinate for 15 minutes.
- Evenly spread the pieces of tempeh out in the basket of your air fryer. Leave space between the pieces.
- Air fry your tempeh for 10-15 minutes, shaking the basket once halfway through. *see note 1.
Notes
- If you don't like your tempeh crispy you'll want to cook it for less time (more like 10 minutes) than if you want it crispy, which will require about 15 minutes air fry time.
- Nutrition calculations are for the tempeh only, and do not include rice or garnishes.
