Ingredients

  • 16 ounces tempeh 1 large red bell pepper1 large zucchini 1 large white or yellow onion8 ounces white mushrooms, washed and trimmed

  • Ingredients for barbeque sauce

  • 15-ounce can tomato sauce

  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup

  • 1 tablespoon blackstrap molasses

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 tablespoons tamari

  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

  • 1 teaspoon paprika

  • 1 teaspoon oregano, dried

  • ¼ teaspoon chili powder

Preparation

  1. Cut the tempeh, red pepper, zucchini, and onion each into 1.5 inch pieces.

  2. Mix the ingredients for the barbecue sauce together in a bowl. Pour the sauce into a 9 x 13 inch casserole dish and add the vegetables and tempeh. Coat each well and allow to marinate in the refrigerator for at least two hours or overnight.


  3. Divide the vegetables and tempeh evenly onto skewers, alternating ingredients. Reserve extra sauce for serving.

  4. Heat the grill to medium-high. Place skewers on the grill and cook for 7-10 minutes, basting occasionally, until the vegetables are tender. You can also do this on a grill pan, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes on medium-high heat. Serve immediately.
