Tempeh is that wonderful protein that comes with its issues of an odd bitter taste, and a texture that also can be a throw off. But Tempeh works beautifully when cooked right.
Like these baked Tempeh strips. Add the sauces, let it sit for a bit, bake until crispy, thats it. Baking with the sauce also steams the Tempeh in the process while the sauce dries out.
I served these delicious spicy bbq strips with my yeast-free flatbreads and an easy crunchy slaw of cabbage, carrots and apple in a tahini dressing. I added some chopped mango on my wraps while hubbs opted for some watermelon. You can also serve these with some crunchy shredded cabbage or lettuce and and a creamy dressing or more barbecue sauce. The tempeh strips are super addictive by themselves. They make a great addition to breakfast as well.

Hi Richa! I made these yesterday, and loved them! What a cool idea to include tempeh in wraps! I love the slaw and dressing as well!
Awesome!! So glad you are loving so many of the recipes :).
your opinion is vary good !
This was excellent! I’m a huge fan of BBQ and I can say the bbq tempeh was really good and the slaw sauce also was very good and a nice compliment. Kinda like fish tacos and that compliment. Very tasty! I had 2 improvise on my slaw ingredients as I didn’t have cabbage so I used shredded up carrot and sprouted lentils (I know it sounds weird, but it worked really nicely!) The only other sub I had 2 make was apple cider vinegar 4 lemon juice.
