Heard of potato fries, sweet potato fries, zucchini fries, butternut squash fries etc. but have you heard of Tempeh fries..No..well now you have and believe me they taste fantastic. I am always a bit hesitant with Tempeh, but this recipe actually has me hooked to it. Seriously the texture is perfect and the fries were so crisp. I am in love with this recipe and will be making it soon. I used just half of a tempeh block which gave me about 5 thick fries. You can play with the size of the fries!
Tempeh cut into fry shape pieces
1 cup wheat bran crushed
1 tbsp EVOO
Red chili powder
1 cube poultry seasoning or vegetarian seasoning
Pepper
In a small bowl mix the oil+ spices and seasoning. Coat the cut tempeh on all sides with the mixture and then roll it in the crushed bran. I think rolling the tempeh in the Ziploc bag will coat them perfectly.
Just bake them at 350 F for about 25 minutes. Yummy!
