Method 7 steps

Preheat the oven to 190 °C (375 °F) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Set aside.
In a pot with a lid, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add tempeh and brown on each side. Add water, cover and steam until water evaporates.
Remove the pot from heat and allow to cool.
Set up a breading station: In a small bowl, whisk egg and set aside. In a second bowl, mix breadcrumbs, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Gently dip cooled tempeh into whisked egg and roll it in breadcrumbs to coat. Transfer to the baking sheet.
Bake for 15 minutes until golden brown.
Prepare the dipping sauce: In a small bowl, mix together yogurt, chipotle powder, garlic, and salt.
