This is such an easy recipe I love to keep in my back pocket for busy weeknights. Sometimes I crumble it instead and make BBQ Tempeh Sandwiches, which my family can never get enough of! Other times I like to make delicious bowls with vegan mashed potatoes, roasted brussels sprouts and this tempeh. It’s also tasty with rice and cooked kale. The possibilities are endless!
How to make BBQ Tempeh
This skillet version is so simple. First, cut the tempeh into cubes and steam in some water. You want to add enough water to about half cover the cubes. Place the lid on and cook on high until nearly all the water evaporates.
Steaming helps remove any bitter taste, so don’t skip this step. Next, add a few tablespoons of olive oil and fry the tempeh in it until golden and a bit crisp.
Add a jar (18-oz) of bbq sauce and stir. Use a quality spatula to scrape the tempeh cubes off the bottom of the pan if they stick.
That’s it! Ready to devour.
