BBQ Marinated Tofu

This is a super easy way to cook tofu without adding too many calories.

1 block Extra Firm Tofu

1/4 cup ACV

1tbsp Tamari

½ tbsp Paprika

½ tsp Coconut Sugar or Stevia

½ tsp Turmeric

½ tsp Cumin Powder

½ tsp Coriander Powder

Cayenne Pepper

Black Pepper

Himalayan Salt

Optional: Fresh Rosemary and/or Sage

Pressed and dried Tofu

Press and dry Tofu with some kitchen roll.

Cut into trips and set aside.

Combine all ingredients except tofu in a bowl.

Add in your tofu and allow the marinade to cover it entirely.

I like to use some BPA free sealable bags to prepare my marinade. This is the only it gets into my tofu or tempeh evenly. I know plastic is still to be avoided, but I haven’t found any better replacement yet…

At this point you have 2 options: either you bake it at 180°C for 15-20 mins (flipping half way through), or you fry it with 1 tsp coconut oil. Yesterday night, I went for the second option, as I was starving and needing some extra calories to recover from my back and shoulders workout. As I had some fresh rosemary, sage and thyme in the fridge, I added them to my coconut oil, before frying the tofu.

Here’s the final result

It tastes great with some yeast extract on top! 🙂 🙂 🙂
