Smoky Maple Tempeh Ribs

🍃 Sugar-Free Option

Avoiding sucrose and honey entirely? Here's the stevia version of this dish:

• Low-sodium BBQ sauce, 1/4 cup→Use a no-sugar-added BBQ sauce sweetened with stevia or monk fruit (several organic brands make one), or whisk tomato paste + apple cider vinegar + smoked paprika + liquid stevia to taste.
• Maple syrup, 1 tbsp→Swap for liquid stevia — about 3–4 drops per teaspoon of maple called for (a tablespoon ≈ 10–12 drops). If the batter or sauce needs the liquid volume, add the same amount of water or plant milk.
