Instructions

  • Press the tofu using your preferred pressing method* for about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a 9x13 inch baking dish, whisk together the marinade: oil, vinegar, soy sauce, vegan Worcestershire sauce, mustard, brown sugar, garlic powder, ground ginger, onion powder, rosemary, paprika, pepper, and salt.
  • Place the tofu slices in a single layer in the baking dish and marinate for at least 1 hour, but preferably overnight in the fridge for the best results, flipping once if possible.
  • Grease the grill grates and preheat the grill to medium heat (400 degrees).
  • Grill tofu over direct heat until golden and caramelized, about 3-5 minutes per side**, basting occasionally.
  • Serve with remaining marinade***, if desired or other dipping sauce of choice and enjoy!

Notes

*See How to Press Tofu
** I thought using tongs was the easiest way to flip the tofu, but a metal spatula will work as well.
***I microwaved the leftover marinade so it was warm for dunking.
