Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 ounces Extra-firm tofu
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Drain the tofu and gently press it with a clean towel or paper towels to remove excess moisture. Do not crumble the tofu.
Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes or slices based on your preference.
In a mixing bowl, combine BBQ sauce, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and ground black pepper. Stir until the marinade is well blended.
Add the tofu pieces to the bowl and gently toss until all pieces are well-coated with the marinade. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes. For best results, marinate for a couple of hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
Preheat an outdoor grill or a grill pan over medium heat.
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Carefully place the marinated tofu pieces on the preheated grill.
Grill the tofu for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until you see nice grill marks and the tofu is heated through.
While grilling, you can brush additional BBQ sauce onto the tofu to enhance the flavor.
Once cooked, remove the tofu from the grill and serve immediately.
Garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro or green onions if desired, and pair with your favorite side dishes.
