\"Stirring<\/figure>\n

A plant-based dish that\u2019s full of protein, takes <\/strong>just 15 minutes<\/strong>, and is perfect for everything from breakfast burritos<\/a> to pizza<\/a>, tacos<\/a>, and pasta<\/a>?! Count us in. These easy vegan sausage crumbles combine protein-rich tempeh with classic Italian sausage spices<\/strong> like fennel and paprika for a flavorful addition to any meal.<\/p>\n

Just 10 ingredients<\/strong> required, friends. Let\u2019s get cooking!<\/p>\n

\"Cubed<\/figure>\n

<\/p>\n

The protein-packed<\/strong> base for these vegan sausage crumbles? Tempeh<\/strong>, a.k.a. a fermented soybean miracle with gut health-supporting prebiotics and nutrients like iron and calcium! Learn more about tempeh and its origin here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We cut the tempeh into cubes and add it to a food processor<\/a> with Italian-inspired seasonings<\/strong> to ensure flavor in every bite. Fennel seeds, dried thyme, smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes contribute smokiness, herby flavor, and a subtle heat, while salt enhances it all.<\/p>\n

\"Food<\/figure>\n

Next, we cook the crumbled, seasoned tempeh in a skillet in avocado (or olive) oil to give it a subtly caramelized flavor<\/strong>. After turning off the heat, we finish it off with tamari for rich, umami goodness and maple syrup for a sweet balance. The combination of all these flavors does a beautiful job of disguising the tempeh\u2019s natural bitterness.<\/p>\n

We hope you LOVE these vegan sausage crumbles! They\u2019re:<\/p>\n
