Instructions

  1. In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, heat the oil. Once oil is heated, add in the onions and garlic and let them cook until they become tender and translucent, about 1 minute.
  2. While the onions and garlic are cooking, slice the tempeh in thin strips about, ¼-inch thick.
  3. Place the tempeh in the oil and cook on both sides until it is a crispy brown.
  4. Pour in your favorite BBQ sauce, salt, and pepper and mix with a spatula, coding all the tempeh. Turn the heat down to medium-low and let cook for about 10 minutes. Be sure to stir.

Notes

  • If the mixture gets too caramelized, add a little more oil.
  • You can also add more sauce if you like a more intense flavor.
  • If you really must have the grilled taste, you can make this same recipe in a foil packet on the grill.
  • You can also use your air-fryer to make these! Place the slices on the basket in a single layer, then air-fry at 400 degrees for 12 minutes.
  • Serve with grilled vegetables to make a full meal, such as corn, mushrooms, bell peppers, and zucchini.
