Description
Delicious and satisfying BBQ tempeh strips, marinated and baked for rich flavor without the extra fat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 block tempeh, sliced into strips
- 1 cup barbecue sauce, use your favorite variety
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Combine barbecue sauce, maple syrup, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl, then whisk to blend.
- Add the tempeh strips to the bowl, ensuring they are well-coated in the mixture. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes for better flavor absorption.
- Arrange the strips in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until they are nicely caramelized and sticky.
- Allow them to cool slightly before serving, as this enhances their flavor further and firms up the texture.
Notes
Steaming tempeh briefly before marinating helps with flavor absorption. Ensure good coating to achieve the best glaze.
