Break up the tempeh and steam it in a basket steamer for about 10 minutes.
When cool enough to handle, crumble it into a bowl and mix in 2 tablespoons of the oil and all of the remaining ingredients.
Form the tempeh mixture into 1-inch balls or make larger ones, if you prefer.
Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet and press them down into patties about ¼-inch thick.
Brush the tops with the remaining oil.
Bake for about 5 minutes, until the tops are browned.
Use a spatula to flip the patties over and then bake for 5 minutes more, or until browned.
