Ingredients for Grilled BBQ Tofu

Each ingredient in this grilled vegan recipe has been chosen to ensure your vegetarian grill recipes are a hit. Whether you’re looking for vegetarian barbecue recipes or just some delicious grilled vegan recipes, this tofu is sure to impress.

  • Extra Firm Tofu: This is the star of our barbecue tofu recipe. We slice it into 1/2-inch pieces and press it to get rid of extra water. It’s perfect for soaking up our BBQ marinade and getting that grilled tofu texture just right.
  • BBQ Sauce: Choose your favorite kind to bring that classic barbecue tofu flavor to life. This sauce makes the tofu sweet, tangy, and perfect for a vegetarian bbq.
  • Vegetable Oil: We use this to help the tofu not stick to the grill and to add a bit of richness.

How to Make Grilled BBQ Tofu

This simple guide will help you master vegetarian grilled tofu, making your next meal a hit with both the vegans and meat-eaters at your table.

  • Marinate the Tofu: First up, mix your BBQ sauce with a little vegetable oil in a big bowl. This is your barbecue tofu marinade. Toss in your tofu slices so they’re all nicely covered in this bbq marinade for tofu. Let them sit like this for about half an hour to soak up all that flavor.
  • Prepare the Grill: Now, get your grill ready. You want it hot, so set it to medium-high heat. I bring my grill to about 400 degrees F. Make sure it’s clean and rub a bit of oil on the grate. This step is crucial for any vegetarian grill recipes to prevent sticking, since most vegetarian ingredients are not high fat on their own..
  • Grill the Tofu: Next, take your tofu slices out of the marinade. Let the marinade drip off a bit into the bowl so it doesn’t flare up in your grill. But don’t wipe them off too much – a bit of that tasty marinade should still be on them. Lay them on the grill. Flip them after 3-4 minutes or once you see those nice grill marks forming. The time might change a bit based on how hot your grill is or how thick your tofu slices are. This part is key in making a great tofu BBQ.
  • Serving Instructions: Serve your grilled BBQ tofu warm. It’s delicious with more our BBQ vinaigrette drizzled on top. I love it on a fresh salad, in a taco, or just with some coleslaw and grilled veggies. This is what makes grilled vegan recipes so good – they’re versatile.
  • Storage: Got leftovers? No problem. Just put them in an airtight container and they’ll stay good in your fridge for up to three days. To reheat, just throw them back on the grill or warm them in a skillet. Perfect for enjoying vegetarian bbq any day of the week.
