Ingredients

Instructions

  • Cut tempeh into small triangles. Add to a steamer basket and steam if desired. 
  • Add oil to a non-stick skillet and toss in the tempeh.
  • Cook undisturbed over medium-high heat until the first side is golden brown, about 3-5 minutes. Flip each piece and cook on the second side until golden brown.
  • Turn off the heat and stir in your favorite barbecue sauce. Serve with roasted vegetables or in your favorite salad. 

Notes

  • Bitter tempeh? Just steam the tempeh for a few minutes in a steamer basket. After that, use your tempeh according to the recipe directions - no more bitterness!
  • Serving suggestions: Add a large salad or roasted vegetables like this roasted sweet potatoes and broccoli recipe. My vegan broccoli macaroni and cheese recipe would also be a perfect side! Add it to a wrap with some lettuce, shredded carrots, pickled red onion, and my homemade vegan ranch dressing
  • Storage: store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
