Ingredients
- 1 oz package extra firm tofu
- 2 Tbsp oil 30 mL
- 1 tsp each smoked paprika, cumin, chili, garlic powder
- ½ tsp each salt and pepper
- ½ to 1 cup BBQ sauce
Instructions
- Prep Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least an hour before grilling.
- Press: Press tofu for at least 15 minutes, using either a tofu press or by wrapping it in a clean towel and setting a heavy pan on top of it, letting the moisture drain.
- Assemble: Cut tofu into squares. Assemble tofu onto metal or soaked wooden skewers.
- Brush: In a small bowl, combine oil and spices. Brush onto all sides of the tofu.
- Grill: Heat a grill or grill pan to medium/high. Use cooking spray to oil the grill grates. Cook the tofu for 5 minutes, flipping once, until char lines develop. Brush with the BBQ sauce and continue cooking for another 1 minute per side. Serve hot.
Notes
- For baked BBQ tofu: Heat oven to 400°F (204°C). Brush tofu with oil and spice mixture then arrange in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cook for 20 to 25 minutes. Brush with BBQ sauce before serving.
- For air fried BBQ tofu: Heat air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Brush tofu with oil and spice mixture then add blocks to your air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes. Brush with BBQ sauce before serving.
