Perfect for tempeh, jackfruit, tofu, or beans, this thick and rich vegan BBQ sauce is everything you need for your summer cookouts. Tangy and a little sweet, it’s perfectly seasoned and so easy to make.

What Makes This Recipe So Good

  • Tangy and just a little sweet, this sauce is everything you would want from BBQ. The main difference? It tastes so much better than store-bought BBQ sauces. No, really. And because you’re creating it yourself, you can really make it your own, adjusting the spices as needed to find your perfect blend.
  • This vegan bbq sauce seriously could not be easier to make. Whisk everything together in a saucepan then let it simmer for 20 minutes or so, until it’s the perfect consistency.

Chef’s Tips

  • Refrigerate any leftover bbq sauce in an airtight container, like a mason jar. It should keep roughly 2 weeks in the fridge, although we always use ours up faster than that!
  • This sauce is SUPER versatile. I love to use it on BBQ Jackfruit sandwiches, tempeh, as a dipping sauce for crispy tofu, or even just stirred into beans for an easy vegan BBQ baked beans.
