I grew up eating BLT sandwiches, and I liked them. But this vegan BLT is way better than any conventional BLT I’ve ever had. This version is made with crispy toast — preferably sourdough, which is the best sandwich bread in my humble opinion. It’s also got the essentials: romaine lettuce and fresh tomatoes. But this is where the similarities with a traditional BLT end. My vegan BLT also includes smoky tempeh bacon, which I think is far superior to regular bacon. I jazzed up my standard tempeh bacon recipe with some extra seasonings to really enhance the flavor. Two more things that set this vegan BLT from others are the avocado slices and spicy sriracha mayo. These ingredients take mere minutes to prepare, but they add so much deliciousness and texture that really brings the whole sandwich together. I think this is about to become your new go-to quick and easy dinner! To cook the tempeh bacon, heat some oil in a skillet and add some tempeh slices. Make sure to give them plenty of space to cook, even if this means cooking them in batches. Cook the tempeh slices for a few minutes on each side, until they’ve got plenty of brown spots. Drizzle some extra marinade over them as they cook to really pack in the flavor! If you can, prepare each of the other sandwich components right before serving your vegan BLTs.
