Gluten-free vegan dinners made with tempeh

These ten dinners lean on tempeh for substantial protein without any gluten-containing ingredients. The Peanut Tempeh Lettuce Cups come together in 29 minutes with 27g protein, while the Cajun Red Beans and Rice with Smoky Tempeh takes 55 minutes and delivers 42g protein. Whether you're fully plant-based or just mixing in meatless nights, there's a mix of quick skillets and slower stews like the German Lentil & Smoky Tempeh Sausage Stew here.
