Notes
- Nutrition values are an estimate only.
- Note - you can add the sauce either before or after the tempeh is baked, but I find it soaks up better after the tempeh has been baked.
- If you want to marinate the tempeh before baking, let it soak in the marinade for at least 10 minutes but up to overnight.
