This easy BBQ tofu recipe is a delicious vegan and vegetarian main dish! Coated in glossy BBQ sauce, it's sweet, savory, tangy, and smoky. Grill it for a summer cookout, or make it in the oven all year long.
Preheat the oven to 450°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the tofu on a plate and brush with BBQ sauce on all sides. Arrange in a single layer on the baking sheet.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until browned around the edges. Flip, brush with more BBQ sauce, and bake for 5 minutes, or until well browned. Serve with more BBQ sauce, if desired.
For grilled BBQ tofu:
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Place the tofu on a plate and brush with BBQ sauce on all sides. If grilling cubes, thread the tofu onto metal or soaked wooden skewers.
Use cooking spray to oil the grill grates well, then place the tofu on the grill. Grill for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until well-charred. Brush with more BBQ sauce and serve.
