Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 232kcal
Ingredients
- 12 ounces tempeh cut in half and boiled; then cut into equal sized cubes
- 1 red onion cut into similar sized pieces comparative to tempeh cubes
- ½ pineapple cut into similar sized pieces as tempeh
Teriyaki Marinade (choose 1)
- 1 recipe Teriyaki Marinade
- 1 recipe Homemade BBQ sauce
Instructions
- Remove tempeh from packages and cut in half.
- Place the tempeh pieces into a saucepan and cover with water.
- Boil tempeh for 10-15 minutes.
- Or steam in a steamer basket for 10-15 imnutes.
- Drain the tempeh from the water and allow it to cool.
- Then, cut tempeh into equal-sized cubes (make sure they are large enough to thread on the skewers).
- Choose your marinade, and place the cubes and marinate in a covered container overnight (minimal time 3 hours).
- Make sure all the tempeh is covered, so rotate the container several times.
- Cut pineapple and red onions the same size as the tempeh.
- Then, thread the skewers, alternating tempeh pineapple, and red onion
Grilling Tempeh Kabobs
- Preheat the grill to 400 degrees.
- Place the tempeh kabobs directly on the grill.
- Turn every 4 minutes for 16 minutes (4 times).
- Remove from the grill and allow to cool slightly.
- Carefully remove tempeh, pineapple, and red onion using an oven mitt.
- I served with roasted baby potatoes.
Notes
- If you use wooden skewers, remember to soak them on water prior to threading the skewers. As a result, the tempeh and other ingredients will not stick to the wooden skewers.
- Also, be very careful when using metal skewers. Always use oven mitts, especially when removing the ingredients from the skewers.
- In the fridge, you can marinate tempeh for as little as 20 minutes or as long as a day. For the best results, I marinade overnight.
- Make sure the grill is preheated before adding the kabobs to the grates.
- Use the extra marinade to brush extra sauce on the skewers.
- Because you are not cooking with meat, add the skewers back into the marinade after cooking for additional flavor.
