Vegan BLT (Tempeh-bacon “Tempeh-con”) w/ No-Oil Baked Fries

Vegan, plant-based, healthy BLT? NO WAY!! Want the smokey taste of a good BLT without the added fats of bacon? Want a side of fries without being weighed down by all the oil?

Pinterest-inspired Tempeh-bacon!

For the marinade:

1 tablespoon olive oil (you can reduce this oil, but I like the sizzling effect!)

1 tablespoon agave

1 teaspoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon liquid smoke (find it here: http://amzn.to/1WS3WPL

or use smoked paprika if you don’t use liquid smoke (find it here: http://amzn.to/1WS5ids)

½ teaspoon cumin

½ teaspoon black pepper

salt

Marinate the tempeh in the pan for a few minutes before heating up the non-stick pan. This way it saves on dishes, and also you don’t need to use as much oil.

Baked fries

Use sweet potatoes and/or red potatoes

Add pepper, salt, thyme, rosemary. Add whatever seasonings you like! I skipped out on oil here since I am already using oil on my tempeh-bacon.
