- 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
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.
