Ingredients
- 8 oz soy-free tempeh (e.g., chickpea or millet-based)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp onion powder
- 0.25 tsp sea salt
- 0.25 tsp ground black pepper
- 0.125 tsp optional: cayenne pepper (for extra heat)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Slice the soy-free tempeh into very thin slices, aiming for about 1/8-inch thickness to ensure even crisping.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, ground black pepper, and optional cayenne pepper. Stir well to create a spiced oil mixture.
Step 4
Add the tempeh slices to the bowl and gently toss to coat each piece evenly with the spiced oil.
Step 5
Arrange the tempeh slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then flip each chip carefully using tongs or a spatula.
Step 7
Bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning. The chips should be golden-brown and crispy.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes to allow the chips to firm up further.
Step 9
Serve immediately as a snack or side dish. These chips pair well with dips like hummus or guacamole. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
