The spring is a time of change and transformation. Maybe even a little extra right now with the Aries New Moon coming up. Change can often mean taking leaps of faith and trusting your intuition which can be a little scary sometimes. So for today I wanted to share a Maple Lime Tempeh recipe for strength.
Now is a time to go all in, make positive changes and be the leader of your own life. This dish is full of energetic properties to help with this intention. It includes strength, healing, cleansing, vitality, spirituality, and prosperity.
It’s also perfect for meal prepping if you want to focus your week on these types of intentions. Delicious for breakfast, lunch, or dinner; you could have it like bacon for breakfast, on a sandwich or in wraps and bowls.

And Now The Maple Lime Tempeh Recipe!
Makes 3 – 4 servings | Time: 40 minutes (plus marinade time)
Ingredients:
- 1 block tempeh (200g)
- juice from 1 lime
- 2 tbsp coconut aminos or soy sauce
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp hoison sauce
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- black pepper to taste
Preparation:
- Cut your tempeh into thin strips like bacon and set aside.
- Next we will mix up our marinade in a bowl or pan large enough to fit the tempeh so they pieces can all be covered in the marinade.
- Add all of the ingredients into the bowl and whisk to combine.
- Add your tempeh into the marinaden and mix until all of the pieces are well covered in the marinade. While you are doing this you may state the following or something similar, ‘Tempeh may you imbue me with the strength to achieve my goals, overcome obstacles, and manifest my intentions.’
- Put into the fridge for 60 minutes. It can be less depending on your time constraints but the longer it sits the more the flavours will soak up into the tempeh.
- Preheat your oven to 400F and grease or line your baking pan. Your pan should be large enough so the there is no overlapping of your tempeh strips. Having them in a single layer will allow them to become more crispy.
- Bake for 20 – 30 minutes depending on the size of our tempeh pieces.
Alternatively, if you prefer, you can fry the pieces in a dash of oil in a pan instead of baking. Enjoy as bacon for breakfast or add to bowls, salads, sandwiches and wraps. The tempeh will store well for about 4 days. For best results, when reheating use the stovetop and not the microwave.
