It’s summer BBQ season for all my Canadian friends and I wanted to share a new favourite of mine – tempeh kebabs! Ali loves a good kebab and bok choy is his favourite vegetable, so we paired the two to make a light dinner on the BBQ.

I love these kebabs because they are:

• super easy to prepare – no stress or fancy cooking skills required.
• a wonderful plant-based option, just marinate and throw on the BBQ like you would meat!
• A fun Asian-style twist on classic BBQ recipes.
• Easy to use as leftovers in a salad bowl for work the next day.

These easy tempeh kebabs are the best on the BBQ!

Ingredients

• 1 block organic tempeh

• 1/4 cup tamari

• 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil

• 1 shake chilli flakes

• 1 tbsp coconut sugar

• 1 tbsp peanut butter

• 1 yellow pepper

• 1 green pepper

• 1 red pepper

Directions

• Chop up the tempeh into cubes.
• In a shallow bowl, add the tamari, sesame oil, chilli flakes, coconut sugar and peanut butter and mix well. Add the tempeh and let it marinate for at least 30 mins.
• Chop up the bell peppers and add the peppers & tempeh cubes along the skewers, alternating colours. Pour some olive oil on top of the skewers and add them to the BBQ.
• The tempeh should cook about 5-6 minutes each side until thoroughly cooked. Serve the kebabs with a side salad and roasted potatoes for a complete meal.
