Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams extra-firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 4 large garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Drain and press the tofu for at least 15 minutes to remove excess moisture.
Cut the pressed tofu into rough, chicken-liver-sized chunks.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, nutritional yeast, minced garlic, chopped parsley, thyme, onion powder, smoked paprika, lemon juice, black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.
Add the tofu pieces to the marinade and toss to coat thoroughly. Let the tofu marinate for at least 30 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even coating.
Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium heat.
Once heated, lightly oil the grill grates or pan to prevent sticking.
Place the marinated tofu pieces on the grill and cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are nicely browned and charred on the edges.
Remove from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes to absorb flavors and set.
Serve warm, garnished with extra fresh parsley if desired.
