4.64 17 Published Apr 16, 2018, Updated Jun 17, 2024 By now, you probably know I’m tempeh obsessed. I love using it to make these vegan breakfast sandwiches, my tempeh taco salad and this vegan tempeh tikka masala, but to be honest, I’ve never thought of it as a snack food. Until now! I mean it’s brilliant — tempeh is naturally high in protein and fermented, so this delicious snack will leave your taste buds and your belly satisfied. These BBQ baked tempeh chips are packed with flavor and are SO easy to whip up for a quick crispy, salty snack! While testing this recipe I made a ton of different flavors but the two I liked best were the plain sea salt and the BBQ. Sea salt seemed a little too simple to post so I went with the BBQ. Any other BBQ chip lovers out there? I hope so! These chips have a flavorful coating of BBQ seasoning so you can totally munch on them plain, but they’re also delicious with different dipping sauces. I recommend aioli, black bean dip, hummus, guacamole — I have no shame in my dip game! I used my favorite Lightlife tempeh for this recipe. I recommend the original or the three grain because the pieces hold together well, even when you chop the tempeh into thin slices. I tested the recipe with a few other varieties, but these worked best!
