Instructions

Marinate the tempeh

Step 1

Place the tempeh strips in a single layer into a shallow dish. In a small bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the marinade.

Step 2

Pour over the tempeh to cover and let marinate while you prepare the aioli, flipping the tempeh once or twice.

Make the aioli

Step 3

Place all the ingredients for the aioli in a high speed blender (I suggest that you start with one garlic clove, taste, and add another one if you like). Blend until smooth. Add water, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency (I used about 2 tablespoons of water). Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Assemble

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the tempeh strips. Cook until golden and crispy, about 4 minutes per side.

Step 5

Toast the bread. Spread one half of the bread with a generous portion of the carrot aioli. Place cooked tempeh slices on top, followed by sliced avocado, carrot ribbons and sprouts. Serve immediately.
