These Buffalo Tempeh Sandwiches are stuffed with crispy baked tempeh buffalo tenders, creamy ranch slaw, tomatoes, and avocado!

My go-to vegetarian meal maker is almost always the humble, healthy chickpea, followed closely by tofu and mushrooms. But for when I’m craving something a little different, we tempeh.

But the thing with tempeh is, you have to do something with it. Like chickpeas plain, fine, throw them on a salad, it’s okay. But with tempeh that just won’t work. Tempeh recipes require a little coaxing to come out of its shell. But when it does, it’s a game changer.

Case in point, these Buffalo Tempeh Sandwiches. Crispy (from baking) and packed with buffalo sauce flavor, it’s the epitome of healthy(ish) comfort food.

Buffalo Tempeh Sandwich Ingredients

  • Buffalo Tempeh Tenders: Transfer tempeh into a crispy, buffalo packed tender, then plop it on a sandwich like the stuff of vegetarian bar food dreams. Get the recipe for the tempeh tenders here (30 minutes to make).
  • Buns: Any bread will really work here, but I like to use something sturdy that will hold up well to all of our fillings! Head to the fresh baked bakery aisle and looks for some buns to use here.
  • Coleslaw: Any variety of shredded coleslaw will do. We’ll combine it with the ranch to create a creamy crunch!
  • Ranch Dressing: My favorite way to tame the buffalo flames? Ranch dressing! (Feeling adventurous? Try this homemade Kefir Ranch Dressing or this vegan Tofu Ranch Dressing)
  • Your favorite veggies: Tomatoes, avocado, cucumber…anything goes!

How to make these tempeh sandwiches

Step 1: Make The Tempeh Tenders
Prepare the Buffalo Tempeh Tenders (15 minutes hands-on work, 15 minutes baking).
