First, prepare the tempeh bacon. Slice the tempeh in thin slices. In a shallow bowl, combine the vegetable oil, brown sugar, liquid smoke, and garlic salt.

Toss in the tempeh pieces, and mix to combine. Set aside to marinade for 10-15 min.

Meanwhile, prepare the grilled pineapple. Heat up a grill pan or cast iron pan over medium high, and add in the vegetable oil.

Add in the pineapple slices and cook until caramelized, 5-6 minutes. Repeat with all the slices.

Next, prepare the bacon. You can make it in the same pan as the pineapple! Heat pan over medium heat, and add in the tempeh pieces (be sure to leave the marinade behind in the bowl so it doesn’t burn).

Cook until crispy and caramelized on both sides. Add the reserved marinade and cook for 1 more minute so it thickens. Remove from pan.

Finally, cook the burgers. I find that Beyond Burgers cook best in a cast iron skillet! Add them to a hot skillet and press down to make them thinner. Cook each side for 7-8 minutes, until the edges are crispy and caramelized. To finish, brush on BBQ sauce to both sides.

Finally, build your burgers! Grab a Hawaiian burger roll and place some lettuce on top. Add on the burger patty, tempeh bacon, sliced onion, grilled pineapple, and sliced jalapeños. Dig in!!
