Instructions
- 1 Combine vegetable broth, soy sauce, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic, Himalayan salt, and pinch black pepper in a large bowl.
- 2 Fill a saucepan with water; bring to a boil. Cut tempeh in half; add to the boiling water. Boil tempeh to remove any bitter taste, about 10 minutes, then transfer to a cutting board; cool slightly.
- 3 Cut tempeh into 1/4-inch slices; add to vegetable broth marinade and toss to coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap; marinate in the refrigerator 8 hours to overnight, stirring occasionally, making sure tempeh is covered with marinade.
- 4 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 5 Remove tempeh from marinade, letting excess drip off; place on the prepared baking sheet. Discard remaining marinade.
- 6 Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and beginning to crisp at the edges, 30 to 35 minutes, flipping halfway.
- 7 Place pitas in the hot oven until warmed through, 3 to 5 minutes.
- 8 Squeeze excess water from cucumbers using paper towels. Combine cucumbers, tofu, dill, 1 teaspoon garlic, salt, and black pepper in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until blended. Taste tzatziki; adjust seasonings if desired.
- 9 Place 1/4 tempeh slices, tomatoes, and red onions on top of 1 pita; drizzle with tzatziki. Repeat with remaining tempeh, tomatoes, onion, pitas, and tzatziki.
