Baked tempeh with an oil, sugar and salt free barbecue sauce! This is a batch prep recipe that makes 3 blocks of tempeh at once. In place of sugar this recipe uses a combination of date syrup and monk fruit sweetener. You can use whole dates instead of syrup/ monkfruit by blending up 6 dates with the rest of the sauce ingredients. I made this recipe in my salad meal prep video on Youtube which you can view by clicking here
