Easy Marinated Tempeh

Cut the tempeh into 1/2-inch slices and steam for 10 minutes. This softens its bitterness and helps it soak up the marinade. 2. Whisk the tamari, maple syrup, vinegar, olive oil, grated garlic and ginger, paprika and sage. 3. Marinate the tempeh for at least 30 minutes, or overnight. 4. Bake at 400°F on a lined sheet for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping and brushing with leftover marinade halfway, until glazed.
