Grilled Tofu

Grilled Tofu is anything but boring or bland. The marinade soaks into this plant-based protein, infusing it with the perfect punch of umami-rich, caramelized flavor! Slap it on the grill for an Asian-inspired dish that's ready in under 10 minutes.

Step 4 Make sure the grill is clean and consider lighting oiling the grates so the tofu doesn’t stick. Remove the tofu from the marinade, brushing off any garlic or cilantro since it will burn. Save the marinade. Grill over medium high heat for 2-3 minutes per side until brown grill marks have formed and the tofu gets slightly crispy on the outside. Serve with remaining marinade on top and season with salt and pepper if needed.
