Grill tofu for a quick and easy way to create a flavor packed meal that breaks bland tofu stereotypes. Wow your friends at your next barbecue by jumping on the tofu bandwagon.
Check out these simple tips for grilling tofu:
- Tofu will stick to the grill. Oil the grill first or use foil.
Side note: Foil is also a great way to keep your grilled tofu separate from the meat for your stricter vegetarians. - Marinate your tofu first, the flavor of your tofu depends on it! Tofu can be marinated with something as basic as barbecue sauce. Just be sure it sits in the marinade for at least 1 hour before grilling, the longer the tofu marinates the better the flavor.
- Press it! Always press your tofu before grilling, this will help the tofu cook faster, absorb more marinade, have better texture, and stick to the grill less.
- Try adding pressed tofu to skewers with vegetables
