8 ounces tempeh
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
ORANGE SESAME MARINADE
2 tablespoons tamari sauce
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons fruit sweetened orange marmalade
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Oil a baking sheet, sprinkle with half the sesame seeds, and set aside.
2. Place all the marinade ingredients in a small bowl and mix well.
3. Cut the tempeh into 8 pieces (rectangles or triangular wedges). Coat each piece in the marinade mixture and place on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the remaining sesame seeds on top.
4. Place on the top rack of the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, spoon any leftover marinade on top of the tempeh, then return to the oven for another 10 to 15 minutes or until the pieces are nicely browned.
5. Transfer the tempeh to a serving platter and enjoy hot.
