Vegan BBQ Tempeh

This Vegan BBQ Tempeh is a delicious and flavorful way to enjoy tempeh. The tempeh is marinaded for 15 minutes then grilled or pan-fried until crispy and smothered in a saucy, smoky, sweet and tangy homemade BBQ sauce. It’s easy to make, flavorful, and hearty!

Ingredients
 

  • 1 Block Tempeh
  • 2 tablespoons Hot Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Maple Syrup
  • 1 tablespoon Vegan Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Nutritional Yeast
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • Pinch of Black Pepper
  • ½ - 1 cup Homemade BBQ Sauce

Instructions

  • Prep ahead the BBQ Sauce.
  • Steam the block of tempeh for 10 minutes. This step is optional. See FAQ for more information.
  • Slice in to thick slices, about 14-16 pieces.
  • Whisk together the hot sauce, maple syrup, worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, nutritional yeast, salt and black pepper in a shallow bowl or baking dish.
  • Place the tempeh in to the marinade. Brush the marinade on the top to make sure all the tempeh is coated. Let marinade for 15-30 minutes. During this time, prepare sides (see above for ideas!)
  • Heat a grill pan or pan on medium high heat and coat the base with olive oil. Cook the tempeh on each side for 4-7 minutes or until it's golden brown.
  • Coat in bbq sauce and serve!

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat on the stove top or in the oven until warmed through.
