Preparation Steps
1
Cut the tofu into slices approximately 1 cm thick. Gently press out any excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
2
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. This will be your marinade.
3
Place the tofu slices in a shallow dish and brush them with the marinade. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to absorb.
4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill with grates, lightly oil them to prevent the tofu from sticking.
5
Place the tofu slices on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until they develop golden-brown grill marks and a slightly crispy exterior.
6
During the last minute of grilling, brush the tofu with BBQ sauce and cook for another minute to allow the sauce to caramelize slightly.
7
Remove the tofu from the grill and sprinkle with fresh cilantro before serving. Serve warm as a side dish or as a main course.
