  • 2 piece bell peppers (red, yellow), cut into chunks
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 2 clove garlic, minced

Steps

  1. Steam tempeh for 10 minutes, then cut into desired shapes. This helps it absorb flavor better.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and minced garlic to create the glaze.
  3. Add the tempeh pieces and bell pepper chunks to the bowl, tossing until everything is well coated with the sweet and sour glaze.
  4. Preheat air fryer to 190°C. Arrange the tempeh and peppers in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 15-18 minutes, shaking the basket every 5-7 minutes, until tempeh is golden and peppers are tender-crisp.
