Can I roast the vegetables instead of frying them?

Yes, you can roast the mixed vegetables in the oven alongside the tempeh, seasoning them with salt, pepper, and extra tamari to taste.

How long does the tempeh need to bake?

The tamari-marinated tempeh cubes should bake in a preheated 390 degreesF oven for approximately 20 minutes.

Are the peanuts essential, or can I omit them?

The large handful of peanuts adds a crucial crunch and flavor to the Kung Pao Tempeh, but you can omit them if you have an allergy or prefer not to include them.

What seasonings are used in this recipe?

This recipe primarily uses tamari for marinating the tempeh and seasoning the vegetables, along with salt and pepper to taste.
