List of Ingredients




12-ounce package of extra-firm tofu
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more oil for grilling
2 tablespoons soy sauce (use tamari if gluten free)
1 1/2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon cajun spice powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
1/2 teaspoon salt

Recipe



1. Drain the package of tofu and wrap the tofu block around a layer of paper towels. Press the tofu by placing it between 2 large plates. Weigh down the top plate with something heavy, like a bag of flour. Let the tofu sit for 15 to 20 minutes.

2. In a medium bowl, mix 1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil, soy sauce, honey, cajun spice powder, garlic powder (if using) and salt. Rub the tofu with the marinade. Let the tofu sit for at least 15 minutes or cover the bowl and marinade the tofu overnight in the refrigerator.

3. Slice the tofu into 6 slices. I usually cut along the long side of the tofu block.

4. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Drizzle about 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil over the grill pan. Add the tofu slices on top of the pan. Arrange them so that the tofu slice are laid diagonally, along the 2 and 8 ‘o clock position or 4 and 10 ‘o clock position. Cook the tofu until you see grill marks on the tofu, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the tofu over and repeat on the other side.

5. Heat up any remaining marinade in a saucepan and drizzle the sauce over the grilled tofu for more flavor.
