Notes
Peanut marinade adapted by Minimalist Baker.
I prefer to add the seasoning AFTER cooking the tempeh because it seems to coat the tempeh better/more. But you can also make the tempeh marinade and coat the tempeh before air frying. If doing so, allow at least 30 minutes for the tempeh to sit in the marinade.
