grilled tempeh

Tempeh tastes even better on the grill! This Grilled Tempeh is marinated in soy sauce, then grilled to perfection, which adds to the smoky flavor of it all. Plus, it’s delicious on a sandwich, salad or paired with your favorite vegetable! 

Grilled Tempeh

tempeh ((1 package); plain)

soy sauce

maple syrup

garlic powder

tsp salt

Slice

Place the block of tempeh on a cutting board, then thinly slice it and place the slices in a small plastic bag or a bowl.

Whisk

Next, make the marinade. Whisk the soy sauce, maple syrup, garlic powder, and salt together. Then, pour the marinade over the tempeh (either in the bag or the bowl) and place the tempeh in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes, or up to 4 hours, allowing it to marinate.

Grill

Place a grill grate on your grill, then heat your grill over medium heat (approx. 400°). Spray the grate with nonstick spray, then place the tempeh in a single layer on the grate (you may need to use two grill grates, or do this in batches). Grill it on the first side for 4 minutes, then flip it over, brush it with a little more of the marinade and grill it for 3-4 minutes on the second side.

Brush

Transfer the tempeh from the grill onto a plate. Before serving, brush it with any remaining marinade and sprinkle it with sea salt. Enjoy!
