Ingredients

  • For the Rub
  • 2 Tbsp. paprika
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. black pepper

  • 3 8 oz. packages of tempeh I used LightLife brand
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil

  • 1//4 tsp. Liquid Smoke optional
  • 2 cups barbecue sauce here is my recipe

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400° F.
  • Mix paprika, salt and pepper together.
  • Cut tempeh blocks into three equal strips, lengthwise.
  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set out tempeh.
  • Coat tempeh with olive oil and then cover with the rub as evenly as possible.
  • If you're using Liquid Smoke mix it in with the barbecue sauce. Brush the sauce over the tempeh, making sure to coat the surface on all sides.
  • Place tempeh in the oven and cook for 40 minutes, rotating the pieces every 10 minutes to ensure cooking on all sides. If the tempeh starts to dry, brush on a bit more barbecue sauce when rotating.
