Crispy and flavorful homemade tempeh chips seasoned with garlic and onion powders, perfect as a healthy snack or a crunchy side dish. This easy recipe uses simple ingredients and olive oil to create a tasty alternative to traditional chips.

Ingredients

Tempeh Chips Seasoning

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder

Main Ingredient

  • 8 ounces tempeh (about 250 grams)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the tempeh: Slice the tempeh into thin, chip-like pieces, approximately 1/8 inch thick to ensure crispiness during cooking.
  2. Season the tempeh: In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Toss the tempeh slices thoroughly in the mixture to coat each piece evenly with the oil and spices.
  3. Cook the chips: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the seasoned tempeh slices in a single layer without overlapping. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown and become crispy.
  4. Drain excess oil: Using a slotted spatula, transfer the cooked tempeh chips to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any extra oil.
  5. Serve and enjoy: Let the chips cool slightly to enhance the crispiness, then serve them as a snack or alongside your favorite dips.

Notes

  • Ensure tempeh slices are uniformly thin to achieve even crispiness.
  • You can adjust seasoning to taste by increasing or adding other spices like smoked paprika or chili powder.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days to maintain crunch.
  • For a vegan-friendly option, stick with olive oil and check labels if adding extra seasonings.
