Tempeh BLT Sandwich

Tempeh pronounced tĕm’ pā’ is made from fermented soybeans. It is a great substitute for bacon and packed with plant-based protein. Most other recipes use liquid smoke to make the tempeh bacon, but why substitute one unhealthy ingredient with another? This tempeh bacon is tasty without it.
