0 5 Published Jun 30, 2017, Updated May 21, 2024 Throughout the summer months (and into the fall) we grill out at least once or twice a week. Sometimes we even end up eating dinner outside on the patio, which is such a nice treat considering most nights we gobble up dinner while plopped on the couch watching T.V. Horrible, but true. This grilled BBQ tempeh recipe is one that I’ve had in my back pocket since an Instagram takeover I did with Lightlife last year. I took a few photos of the bbq tempeh skewers to share on Instagram, but somehow never got around to posting the full recipe. It actually kind of works out because I was able to retest the recipe this year using my healthy homemade BBQ sauce, which made these skewers even better, IMO. My photography skills have improved since last year too so it’s a double win. As you all know, I am a huge tempeh fan and use it regularly for plant-based meals. Just to recap some of it’s benefits — it’s loaded with protein, less processed than tofu and has beneficial bacteria that makes it easier to digest. I’m pretty excited about this recipe because it gives all my vegetarian/vegan friends something new to try grilling this year. I know back when I was vegetarian and we were grilling out I relied heavily on sweet potato black bean burgers for protein. Veggie burgers are great, but it’s nice to have some other options.
How to Make BBQ Tempeh
Making grilled BBQ tempeh is so easy. I’ll breakdown the process for you! I love making BBQ tempeh skewers, because you not only get delicious cubes of BBQ tempeh but you also have the squash, zucchini and red onion so you get some extra veggies as well. Perfect for a quick and easy grilled dinner or for sharing at a party. I can see these being a big hit for the 4th of July! I have to mention that the leftover BBQ tempeh skewers make a delicious salad. No need to reheat — just serve the BBQ tempeh cubes over a bed of greens with a little dressing and extra BBQ sauce.
