Recipe Notes

*Tempeh is precooked, and can be eaten out of the package, but tastes best when steamed for 10 minutes, marinated for an hour, then roasted in the oven at 350F for 15 min. Thin out your favorite BBQ sauce with a splash of lemon juice and a crushed clove of garlic for a quick marinade, or use your favorite salad dressing
