12-Minute Lunch or Dinner
Tempeh + Cruciferous Veggies
Quick & Flavorful Veggies + Organic Tempeh πΏ
Perfect for lunch or dinner! Here’s how I cook cruciferous vegetables so they stay a little crunchy and full of flavor. This is one of my favorite meals—on repeat every week! Carrots aren’t part of the cruciferous vegetable family, but they pair beautifully with cauliflower! π₯
π₯¦ Ingredients:
• ½ large head of organic cauliflower, washed well and chopped
• 1 carrot, washed and chopped
• ½ cup filtered water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• ½ teaspoon iodized sea salt π§
• 1 tablespoon organic oregano
• ½ teaspoon black pepper, optional
• Cooked organic tempeh—see my previous video for the recipe!
π©π³ Method:
1. Add the water, olive oil, cauliflower, and carrots to a pan.
2. Cover with a lid, bring to a gentle boil, and cook for 5–7 minutes, until tender but still slightly crunchy. Avoid overcooking!
3. Add the salt, oregano, and optional black pepper.
4. Gently mix in your cooked tempeh—or another protein of your choice—and heat through.
A simple, satisfying meal with fiber, prebiotic fiber, and plant-based protein.
π Packed with fiber to support digestion, prebiotics to nourish good gut bacteria, and plant-based protein to help keep you satisfied.

Lightlife Organic Tempeh in Coconut Aminos | Easy 14-Minute Recipe Lectin Gluten Free Quick EASY
Lightlife Organic Tempeh in Coconut Aminos | Easy 14-Minute Recipe πΏ
This easy Lightlife Original Organic Tempeh recipe with coconut aminos is flavorful, plant-based, gluten-free, and ready in only 14 minutes!
TEMPEH IN COCONUT AMINOS πΏ
Ingredients
• 1 package Lightlife Original Organic Tempeh (8 oz)
• ¾ cup filtered water
• 4 tablespoons coconut aminos
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• ⅓ teaspoon black pepper
• ⅓ teaspoon red chili flakes
• 1 tablespoon dried oregano
• ⅓ teaspoon iodized sea salt, or to taste
• ½ cup chopped fresh organic dill (optional)
How to prepare
Cut the tempeh into small, bite-sized cubes.
Place it in a small saucepan with the filtered water. Bring to a gentle boil and cook for 6–8 minutes. This softens the tempeh and helps reduce its naturally bitter flavor. Drain well.
Add the coconut aminos and olive oil to a skillet, followed by the tempeh. Season with garlic powder, black pepper, red chili flakes, oregano, dill, and salt.
Stir until every piece is evenly coated. Cook over medium heat for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until warm, flavorful, and lightly caramelized.
Serve with your favorite slightly cooked cruciferous vegetables—that’s how I love to enjoy it! π₯¦
Why enjoy tempeh?
✨ Complete plant protein with all nine essential amino acids
✨ High in fiber to support healthy digestion
✨ Provides essential minerals and B vitamins
✨ Fermentation may make it easier to digest than unfermented soy products
