Ingredients
Scale
- 1 block (8 ounces) tempeh, cut into thin strips
- 1 tablespoon tamari
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder
- 1 cup cucumber, cut into matchsticks
- 1 cup carrots, cut into matchsticks
- 1 cup daikon radish, cut into matchsticks
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 4 small baguettes or sandwich rolls
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon chili paste (optional)
- Fresh mint leaves, for garnish
- Sliced green chilies, for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by combining tamari and olive oil in a bowl. Add the tempeh strips and let them soak up the flavors for about 15 minutes.
- In another bowl, mix together apple cider vinegar, honey, and sea salt until the honey dissolves. Toss in the cucumber, carrots, and daikon radish, allowing them to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Take the marinated tempeh and coat it with arrowroot powder, ensuring each piece is well covered. Arrange the tempeh on the baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through until they are crispy and golden brown.
- While the tempeh bakes, blend Greek yogurt with chili paste in a small bowl if you want some heat.
- Cut the baguettes or sandwich rolls open, keeping one side intact. Spread the spicy yogurt mixture generously on the inside of each roll.
- Once the tempeh is finished baking, fill the rolls with the crispy tempeh, followed by the tangy pickled vegetables, fresh mint leaves, and sliced green chilies.
- Serve right away and relish your crispy tempeh sandwich with tangy veggie slaw!
Notes
- For an extra crunch, consider adding sliced radishes or crispy chickpeas on top of the sandwich.
- If you like it spicier, increase the amount of chili paste in the yogurt or add fresh sliced jalapeños inside the sandwich.
