Crispy nutritional yeast tempeh is a savory, protein-packed vegan dish with a crunchy coating and rich umami flavor. Perfect for salads, bowls, wraps, or snacking.

Ingredients

  • 1 block (about 227g or 8oz) tempeh
  • 4 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • heaping ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • heaping ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • heaping ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • 3 to 4 teaspoons unsweetened unflavoured dairy-free milk or water

Instructions

  1. If using an oven, preheat to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper. If using an air fryer, no preheating or lining is needed.
  2. Break the tempeh into irregular bite-sized chunky pieces and place them in a bowl.
  3. Sprinkle the nutritional yeast, cornstarch, black pepper, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder over the tempeh. Toss gently to coat.
  4. Drizzle over 3 teaspoons of dairy-free milk or water and toss gently again until the seasonings lightly stick to the tempeh. Add another teaspoon if needed.
  5. Spread the coated tempeh pieces onto the prepared baking tray or into the air fryer basket, leaving space between pieces.
  6. Bake for about 25 minutes in the oven, or air fry for about 15 minutes at 400°F (200°C), until golden and crispy.

Notes

  • Use unsweetened and unflavoured dairy-free milk for best results.
  • Water can be substituted for the dairy-free milk if needed.
  • Serve over salads, grain bowls, wraps, or as a crunchy snack.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in the oven or air fryer to restore crispiness.
