servings
  • 14 oz extra-firm tofu (≈397 g) - pressed at least 30 minutes, cut into cubes or slabs
  • ½ cup barbecue sauce (≈135 g) - your favorite, homemade or store-bought, plus more for serving
  • cooking spray or oil - for the grill grates or baking sheet

Instructions

  1. Press the tofu at least 30 minutes to remove excess water, then cut into cubes or slabs.
  2. Baked: Preheat the oven to 450°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Brush the tofu all over with BBQ sauce and arrange in a single layer. Bake 20 minutes until browned around the edges, then flip, brush with more sauce, and bake 5 more minutes until well browned.
  3. Grilled (alternative): Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high. Brush the tofu with BBQ sauce, threading cubes onto skewers if using. Oil the grates well. Grill 2-3 minutes per side until well-charred, brushing with more sauce before serving.
  4. Serve with extra BBQ sauce on the side if desired.
