Explore this air fryer maple-glazed tempeh recipe with roasted root vegetables. A healthy, vegan delight that's perfect for a balanced meal.
Ingredients
- • tempeh: 8 ounces, cut into 1-inch cubes
- • sweet potato: 1 large, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
- • parsnip: 2 medium, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
- • red onion: 1 small, cut into wedges
- • maple syrup: 3 tablespoons
- • olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- • apple cider vinegar: 1 tablespoon
- • garlic powder: 1 teaspoon
- • smoked paprika: 1/2 teaspoon
- • salt: 1/2 teaspoon
- • black pepper: 1/4 teaspoon
- • fresh thyme: 1 tablespoon, chopped
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- 2 In a medium bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
- 3 Place the tempeh cubes in a shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over them. Toss to coat evenly and let them marinate for at least 10 minutes.
- 4 In a separate bowl, combine the sweet potato, parsnip, and red onion. Drizzle with the remaining marinade and toss until well coated.
- 5 Arrange the marinated tempeh cubes in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking.
- 6 After 10 minutes, add the root vegetables to the air fryer, ensuring they are in a single layer around the tempeh. Cook for an additional 15 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the tempeh is crispy.
- 7 Once cooked, sprinkle the tempeh and vegetables with fresh thyme before serving.
Serving Suggestions
- • This air fryer dish pairs beautifully with a simple green salad drizzled with lemon juice and olive oil for an added burst of freshness. For a complementary beverage, try serving with a glass of unsweetened iced green tea, which complements the natural sweetness of the maple glaze. You can also garnish with toasted pumpkin seeds for an extra crunch and a sprinkle of nutritional yeast for a cheesy, nutty flavor that enhances the dish's richness.
Storage Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To maintain the crispy texture, reheat in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes before serving. Avoid microwaving, as it may make the tempeh and vegetables soggy. If you need to freeze, place the dish in a freezer-safe container. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
