Do you have a favorite barbecue sauce? Well, leave it on the shelf or in the fridge. Today you’re going to make your own barbecue sauce. This plant-based recipe is an explosion of flavors, and your homemade barbecue sauce is the pièce de résistance on a dish that is going to get raves around your table.

The barbecue sauce includes a couple ingredients that you may not often use: dry mustard and molasses. They're critical to the rich, tangy flavor this recipe produces. Up next, go ahead and use a whole fresh pineapple. When it comes to forming the skewers, nothing beats your hands for mixing the spices and shaping the skewers. Keep the skewers cool in the fridge before setting them on the grill.

1/4 cup Molasses
1/4 cup Pineapple Juice
1/2 cup Apple Cider Vinegar

How to prepare

Step 1: MAKE THE BBQ SAUCE

Place roughly chopped yellow onion, jalapeño, and garlic in a food processor. Pulse until a paste is formed. In a 3 quart pot over medium heat, heat vegetable oil. Once heated, cook onion, jalapeño, and garlic until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes. Whisk in chili powder, dry mustard, and tomato paste, cook for 1 minute. Whisk in other ingredients: ketchup, molasses, pineapple juice, apple cider vinegar and hot sauce, and bring to simmer. Add in brown sugar. Simmer for approximately 10 more minutes. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper, and set aside.

Step 2: Prep Ingredients and Tools

Cut up the vegetables and pineapple into fork-sized pieces and set them aside. If you plan to use wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water overnight. This will help them from burning on the grill.

Step 3: PREPARE AND PORTION THE IMPOSSIBLE BEEF

Mix the dried oregano, onion powder, garlic powder, and remaining 1 teaspoon salt with the Impossible Beef until well-incorporated. Divide into 1 oz portions for the skewers. Keep cold until building your skewers for easier handling.

Step 4: ASSEMBLE THE SKEWERS

To assemble, alternate Impossible Beef mixture, red pepper, green pepper, orange pepper, red onion, and pineapple 3 times on each skewer. There should be 3 portions of Impossible Beef on each skewer. Once assembled, store back in the fridge. It's best to sear them on the grill when they’re cold.

Step 5: GRILL THE SKEWERS

Set your grill to 400F or medium-high heat, place skewers down, and cook for about 2 minutes on each side, basting with BBQ sauce throughout, or until Impossible skewers are seared nicely and cooked through.
