BBQ Tempeh Nachos

Author: Kelly Hutchinson

Prep time: 10 mins

Cook time: 10 mins

Total time: 20 mins

Serves: 4

Ingredients

4 oz (1/2 block) tempeh (shredded, chopped into small pieces, or pulsed for a few seconds in a food processor)
¼ red onion, finely diced
½ c + BBQ sauce
~ 2 c sharp cheddar (Vegan option: use Daiya or drizzle with vegan cheese sauce or microwave vegan cheese sauce after baking)
1 bag tortilla chips (I used Beanitos Restaurant Style)
Green onion to garnish, optional

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Spritz your baking sheet with nonstick spray or line with aluminum foil.
Mix the tempeh, onion, and 1 c BBQ sauce (to taste) in a bowl.
Arrange chips on prepared baking sheet. Dollop with tempeh mixture. Cover in cheese and an extra drizzle of BBQ sauce, if desired.
Bake until cheese is melty, about 10 minutes. [If adding cheese sauce after baking, bake until tempeh is hot, which is still about 10 minutes. Then, drizzle with cheese sauce]
Garnish with green onion and/or your other favorite nacho toppings. Lettuces are always a good choice!

Notes

I didn't include nutritional info on this, because it really varies based on your chip choice (and cheese choice!). I called this 4 servings because 2 of us got 2 large-ish meals out of it. A more moderate portion would likely result in 6 servings.
