Description
A flavorful Italian-style grilled tofu marinated in herbs, garlic, and olive oil, then grilled to perfection for a savory plant-based dish.
Ingredients
- 14 oz extra-firm tofu, pressed
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Slice the pressed tofu into 1/2-inch thick slabs or triangles.
- In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, garlic, oregano, basil, thyme, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
- Place tofu in a shallow dish and pour marinade over it. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium heat and lightly oil the surface.
- Grill tofu for 4–5 minutes per side until grill marks form and edges are slightly crisp.
- Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- Press tofu well to help it absorb marinade and improve texture.
- Marinate longer (up to 24 hours) for deeper flavor.
- Can be cooked on a stovetop grill pan or outdoor grill.
- Serve with salads, pasta, or roasted vegetables.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
