Ingredients
  

BBQ Marinade

  • ½ cup BBQ sauce
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • hot chili powder or cayenne pepper to taste (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Using a large, flat storage container, whisk together the BBQ sauce, soy sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder and hot chili powder.
  • Cut the extra firm tofu into 6 or 7 equal slices. Gently poke holes into the tofu using a fork. Be careful not to put the fork all the way through. (If the holes are too deep the tofu could fall apart.)
  • Place the tofu into the marinade, and flip tofu to cover both sides in the sauce. Close using the container lid, and allow to marinate for at least 1 hour in the fridge. (Do not marinate for more than 24 hours or the tofu can start to soften)
  • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (375 to 450 degrees Fahrenheit).
  • Lightly grease the grill grates to avoid sticking. Place the tofu onto the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until char marks appear and the tofu releases from the grates.
  • Remove from the grill, and brush with the remaining BBQ sauce marinade. Serve and enjoy!
