The best recipe for Tempeh Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato & Avocado Sandwich
Who doesn’t love sandwiches???
Everyone needs a good sandwich now and then…
Here is one of my favorites!
Vegan bacon made from tempeh, lettuce, tomato and avocado!
Tempeh sliced thin marinated in bragg’s amino acids, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup and spiced up with chili powder, cumin and paprika. Baked crispy for the perfect addition to a sandwich or as a side to any morning brunch!

To make sweet potato chips:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees, line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Cut sweet potatoes into chips using a mandoline and place in a single file on cookie sheet. Sprinkle with sea salt and bake 10 minutes, flip and bake for another 2-3 minutes or until edges are golden. Remove from oven and let set for 10 minutes to crisp up!
