TLT: Tempeh Lettuce Tomato Sandwich
[Vegan]

For the 'Bacon' Tempeh:

1. Cut the tempeh into 5 thin strips widthwise, then cut those strips in half lengthwise. Cut them in half once more, this time crosswise. You should have 12 bacon-like strips that are about 1-inch wide and 3-inches long.
2. In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, maple syrup, paprika, cayenne pepper, and black pepper. Spread half the mixture onto one side of all the tempeh strips. Heat a large pan on medium heat. Add tempeh (sauce-side down) and cook 5 minutes until golden and beginning to char. Coat the top with the remaining sauce and flip the tempeh; cook another 5 minutes.

For the Sandwich:

1. Toast bread. Spread mayo on 3 slices of bread.
2. Add tempeh, and top with avocado, tomato, and lettuce. Top with remaining slices of bread and serve immediately.
