Add tofu. Add tofu cubes to the marinade. Use your hands or a spatula to gently coat each piece evenly on all sides.

14 oz extra firm tofu

Marinate. Cover and let the tofu marinate in the fridge for your desired amount of time (minimum 30 minutes, but ideally overnight). Flip the tofu once during marinating to ensure both sides are coated.

Skewer. Thread the tofu pieces onto bamboo or metal skewers, leaving a few inches of space at both ends for easier handling. Brush any leftover marinade over the tofu - don’t let any marinade go to waste.

Grill. Grill the marinated tofu cubes in a hot grill pan with a little bit of oil or over an open flame BBQ until lightly charred. Flip and grill the other side until crispy and golden brown. Cooking time depends on your grill or pan (mine took about 8 minutes per side on medium heat).

Brush. Remove from the heat and brush the tofu with a little extra-virgin olive oil for added shine and flavour.

Serve & Enjoy! Serve warm with vegan tzatziki, pita bread, and your favourite toppings.
