  • ✓ 2 medium-large stalks broccoli
  • ✓ 1/2 of a sweet onion, diced
  • ✓ 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • ✓ 1/3 cup raisins or golden raisins
  • ✓ 1/3 cup dried cranberries
  • ✓ 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
  • ✓ Optional - 1/2 batch diced tempeh bacon

Dressing

1/4 cup vegan mayo, store-bought or homemade (see recipe)

3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Fresh cracked black pepper

 

TEMPEH BACON

1 block (8 oz) tempeh of your choice

4 tablespoons Bragg’s liquid aminos or low-sodium tamari or soy sauce

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon liquid smoke

1 tablespoon nutritional yeast

1 teaspoon maple syrup

 

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Steam tempeh over boiling water for 8-10 minutes. This helps the tempeh absorb the marinade. 
  2. Add all the other ingredients to a shallow bowl and stir well to combine. Add a few tablespoons of water, if desired, to thin the marinade. Add cooled tempeh and toss gently to coat with marinade. Let sit in marinade for at least 30 minutes, but can be refrigerated for up to 5 days.
  3.  Air fry at 380 F for 10-12 minutes, or oven roast at 375 F on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 20-25 minutes, flipping over half-way through roasting.
