Ingredients

 

1x2x3x

BBQ Tempeh

• 1 package tempeh, cut into triangles, cubes, or slabs
• 1/2 cup BBQ sauce, storebought

5-Minute Slaw

• 2 cups shredded cabbage, or kale, or a mix of both
• 1 grated carrot, optional
• 1 tbsp vegan mayonnaise, or regular mayonnaise if not vegan
• 1 tbsp white vinegar, or lemon juice, lime juice, apple cider vinegar, or red wine vinegar
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro, or parsley
• 1 tsp sunflower seeds, or other seeds of choice, optional
• 1 tsp dried cranberries, optional, if you have them, or substitute grated apple or a drizzle of honey for a little sweetness

Useful Equipment

Parchment Paper

Instructions

 

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the tempeh on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush it with about half of the BBQ sauce.
• Bake for 5-7 minutes, until beginning to dry out. Remove from the oven and brush the rest of the sauce on the tempeh, then return it to the oven for another 2-3 minutes. Adding sauce in two layers like this improves the flavor and texture, and prevents the tempeh from drying out.
• To make the slaw, toss all the ingredients together and let sit for 5 minutes or so, for the veggies to soften and absorb the dressing. This slaw can also be made a few hours ahead and refrigerated until mealtime.
