Tofu BBQ | Delish PH

tofu

🥗Healthier: tempeh

💰Cheaper: seitan

Tempeh offers a nutty flavor and is often more nutritious.

BBQ sauce

🥗Healthier: homemade BBQ sauce

💰Cheaper: ketchup + vinegar

Homemade can reduce sugar and preservatives.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is often less expensive and neutral in flavor.

smoked paprika

🥗Healthier: regular paprika

💰Cheaper: cayenne pepper

Cayenne adds heat without the cost.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Press the tofu to remove excess moisture for 15-20 minutes.

Cut the pressed tofu into cubes or slabs.

In a bowl, combine BBQ sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt.

Add the tofu to the bowl and toss gently to coat evenly with the sauce.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Spread the coated tofu in a single layer on the baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and slightly crispy.

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.

Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
