Ingredients
- 350 grams tofu choose organic tofu that's GMO free if possible, extra firm, 12 ounce block
For the marinade
- ¼ cup soy sauce or Tamari for gluten free, low sodium
- ¼ cup water
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon liquid smoke
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Optional: For grilling the smoked tofu
- the reserved/leftover marinade
- ⅓ cup water
- 1 tablespoon tapioca starch or cornstarch
Instructions
- Slice your block of tofu into rectangles that are approx. ¼ inch thick.
- Then place a clean dish towel (or paper towels) on a cutting board and arrange the slices in a single layer on top. Add another clean towel on top of the slices, followed by another cutting board (or flat baking pan). Then finally, place something heavy like a cast iron pan, or heavy books on top. Keep it like this for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, add all the marinade ingredients to a small bowl and stir to combine.
- Arrange the pressed tofu in a wide but shallow dish in a single layer and pour the marinade on top. Refrigerate for 60 minutes, and carefully flip the slices at the halfway point.
- When your tofu has about 10 minutes of soak time left, preheat the oven to 400°F/204°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the slices in a single layer and bake for 15 minutes. Then flip them and bake another 15-18 minutes.NOTE: Reserve the marinating liquid!
Optional: For grilling the smoked tofu
- Heat a nonstick grill, or lightly grease your grill if needed.
- Pour the leftover marinade into a small saucepot and add ⅓ cup of water and a tablespoon of tapioca flour. Whisk well and simmer over medium heat for 2-3 minutes to thicken and make your BBQ sauce.
- Brush both sides of the smoked tofu slices with your sauce and place them on the grill on a diagonal to make grill lines, approx. 1-2 minutes on each side.

Notes
- Plan ahead! You can marinate the tofu one day in advance to save time on the day you're serving it.
- Although the total time required is a little over 2 hours, note that this is not all active time and the tofu marinates in the fridge for 1 hour.
- Leftovers will keep in the fridge for 3-4 days in a sealed container.
