Ingredients
- 1 block Tempeh
- 1 tablespoon Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
- 1 tablespoon Nutritional Yeast
- ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
- ½ teaspoon Onion Powder
- ¼ teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- Pinch of Kosher Salt
- Pinch of Black Pepper
- 1 tablespoon Avocado Oil for cooking
- ⅓ cup Vegan BBQ Sauce store-bought or homemade
Instructions
- If you're using homemade BBQ sauce, prep that first.
- Cube or cut the tempeh into small triangles. Add to a medium-sized bowl.
- Toss the tempeh in the soy sauce and allow to sit for 2-3 minutes to soak. If you want it spicy, add a dash of hot sauce.
- Sprinkle the nutritional yeast and seasonings over the tempeh and toss until coated.
- Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat and add the avocado oil. Pan-fry until crispy and golden on each side, about 3-5 minutes.
- Turn the heat to low and add in the bbq sauce. Toss to coat.
- Serve on sandwiches, tacos, or on a salad. Enjoy!
Notes
Steam tempeh before marinating to reduce bitterness. I don't personally find this necessary but if you're sensitive to the bitterness, I would recommend it.
