Choose extra-firm blocks, press well, and marinate with assertive flavors like soy, ginger, garlic, and citrus zest. Thread onto skewers or grill as planks. A cornstarch dust creates a crisp shell that protects the center, capturing sauces while staying pleasantly bouncy.

Steam tempeh first to mellow bitterness, then glaze with maple-miso or smoky paprika barbecue. For seitan, knead until elastic, simmer gently, and finish over high heat for blistered edges. Slice across the grain so chew feels satisfying, never tough or tiring.
Think two parts oil, one part acid, plus salt, garlic, and heat from pepper or mustard. Add fresh herbs near the end to keep flavors lively. Marinate briefly for tender items; heartier cuts can lounge longer, developing depth without losing texture.
Blend smoked paprika, coriander, cumin, and brown sugar for a quick crust on squash or carrots. Toast spices to wake their oils. Apply evenly, rest a moment, then grill hot to set. Finish with citrus to brighten and pull aromas forward.
Chimichurri, tahini lemon, and miso maple bring contrast and sheen to charred edges. Keep one creamy, one herbaceous, and one sweet-sour for range. Drizzle at the table, invite dipping, and watch plates return clean with satisfied smiles and enthusiastic questions.
