Discover a nutritious air fryer recipe with maple-mustard glazed tempeh and Brussels sprouts for a deliciously wholesome meal. Perfect for clean eating!
Ingredients
- • Tempeh: 8 ounces, cut into 1-inch cubes
- • Brussels sprouts: 1 pound, halved
- • Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- • Maple syrup: 3 tablespoons
- • Dijon mustard: 2 tablespoons
- • Apple cider vinegar: 1 tablespoon
- • Garlic powder: 1 teaspoon
- • Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
- • Black pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- 2 In a large bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create the glaze.
- 3 Add the cubed tempeh and halved Brussels sprouts to the bowl, and drizzle with olive oil. Toss everything until the tempeh and sprouts are evenly coated with the glaze.
- 4 Arrange the tempeh and Brussels sprouts in a single layer in the air fryer basket. This might need to be done in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- 5 Air fry for 10 minutes, then shake the basket to ensure even cooking. Continue to air fry for an additional 10 minutes until the tempeh is crispy and the Brussels sprouts are tender and golden brown.
- 6 Once done, transfer to a serving dish and serve immediately.
Serving Suggestions
- • This dish pairs beautifully with a simple mixed greens salad dressed in a light vinaigrette to complement the rich flavors of the maple-mustard glaze. For a more substantial meal, consider serving it alongside a quinoa pilaf or brown rice to soak up the extra glaze. For beverages, a refreshing iced green tea or a chilled glass of sparkling water with a slice of lemon would balance the meal perfectly. For those looking to add a bit more dimension to the dish, a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds or chopped fresh parsley can add an extra layer of flavor and texture. This recipe is versatile enough to stand alone as a main course or be a hearty side dish at your next dinner party.
Storage Tips
To store leftovers, place the cooled tempeh and Brussels sprouts in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. For best results, reheat in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes until warm and crispy. Avoid microwaving as it may result in a loss of texture and flavor.
