Tempeh Joes are a lighter, healthier spin on traditional sloppy Joes. Packed with plant-based proteins and antioxidant- rich sweet potatoes; this kind of Joe is sure to leave you feeling satisfied. Tempeh is a fermented soybean product that is packed with protein and adds a “meaty” texture to the dish. The sweet potatoes and red onion add sweet notes to the meal.
