Tempeh is a plant-based protein that’s often overlooked in favor of meat-based dishes. It’s made from fermented soybeans and, like tofu, contains lots of nutrients. However, it can have a slightly bitter flavor that some people don’t enjoy. It’s also important to know how to cook tempeh properly to get the most out of it. The key is to steam it before cooking. This helps remove some of the bitterness and allows the flavor of other ingredients to shine through. This recipe for barbeque tempeh takes this versatile ingredient and makes it swoon-worthy.
This is a super simple meal with very little prep work. If you want to keep things extra simple, you can skip the baking step. However, I think it’s worth the extra steps because browning and then dousing the tempeh in a tasty sauce really enhances its flavors. This is a perfect vegan barbeque recipe to add to your repertoire.
You can use this BBQ tempeh as a appetizer or meal starter, and it would be great for potlucks and picnics. It’s also a perfect protein to pair with grilled vegetables like corn, mushrooms or bell peppers in a salad. Or, you could stack the sliced tempeh between bread to make a BBQ Tempeh Sandwich or wrap it in a Sweet & Spicy Tempeh & Veggies Wrap. I’d also serve this BBQ tempeh on top of a bright citrus salad with lime juice, scallions, cilantro and a pinch of salt.
