Ingredients

• 1 sheet vegan puff pastry sheet
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• 200 grams tempeh
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 100 grams vegan cheese shreds
• 1 tablespoon vegan milk
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Heat coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Slice the tempeh into thin 'bacon-like' strips.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the maple syrup, soy sauce, liquid smoke, and paprika to create a marinade.

Step 5

Add the sliced tempeh to the skillet and pour the marinade over it. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the tempeh is golden and slightly crispy.

Step 6

Roll out the vegan puff pastry sheet on a floured surface to smooth out any creases.

Step 7

Spread the cooked tempeh evenly across the center of the pastry sheet, leaving some space at the edges.

Step 8

Sprinkle the vegan cheese shreds generously over the tempeh.

Step 9

Carefully roll the pastry around the filling, sealing the edges by pressing them with a little water.

Step 10

Place the roll seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 11

Brush the top of the roll with vegan milk and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden and puffed.

Step 13

Allow the roll to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy your vegan bacon and cheese roll!
