Ingredients:

Tempeh Fries:

200g traditional tempeh (1 block) cut into 1.5 cm “fries”

3 tbsp soy sauce or tamari

2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

1 tsp maple syrup

½ tsp smoked paprika (or optional liquid smoke)

2 tsp garlic powder

Black pepper, to taste

Finish:

1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (or cilantro)

½ tsp flaky sea salt

Smoky Cashew Aioli:

50 g (⅓ cup) raw cashews, soaked in hot water for 20 min

60 ml (¼ cup) water

Juice of ½ lemon

¼ tsp salt, to taste

1 tsp maple syrup

¼ tsp chipotle powder for a spicy kick

Instructions

Cooking time: Time 30 min

Serves: 2


  1. Marinate the Tempeh
    In a bowl, whisk together tamari, olive oil, vinegar, maple syrup, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and pepper. Toss tempeh fries in marinade until well coated. Let sit for 15–20 minutes (or overnight for deeper flavor).

  2. Bake or Fry
    Bake: Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F). Arrange fries on a parchment-lined tray in a single layer. Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp.         Air-Fry: Preheat to 200°C (400°F). Cook fries in a single layer (work in batches if needed) for 12–15 minutes, shaking halfway, until crisp and browned.

  3. Make the Aioli
    Drain soaked cashews. In a blender, combine cashews, water, lemon juice, salt, maple syrup, and chipotle powder. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning as needed.

  4. Finish & Serve
    Toss hot fries with parsley and flaky salt. Serve in a fry carton with smoky cashew aioli for dipping.
