This is one of my new favorite ways to cook tempeh! I seriously thought cooking it in BBQ sauce was so weird at first, but it turned out absolutely amaaaazing. Trust Nimai and make this Vegan BALT Sandwich ASAP!

Ingredients:

• A few slices of tempeh

• 2 tbsp vegan BBQ sauce

• 2 slices of toast

• 1-2 tbsp vegan mayo

• 1 slice vegan cheese (I used Follow Your Heart pepper jack)

• Lettuce or spinach

• 1 slice tomato

• 1/4 avocado

Directions:

• Heat a frying pan on medium and add the thinly sliced tempeh.

• Cook for 2-3 minutes to brown.

• Add the vegan BBQ sauce an cook for another 2-3 minutes.

• Meanwhile, toast your bread and prep your veggies.

• When the tempeh is done, assemble your sandwich:

  • Spread the mayo on the toast, then add the cheese, tempeh “bacon”, lettuce, tomato, avocado, and greens.

• Enjoy!

Tips and Tricks:

• Your tempeh may break apart in the pan if you slice them too thin. This is totally okay, just be careful when flipping/cooking them.
