Lemon-Miso Grilled Tofu

Tofu Grilling Tips

Use firm, or if possible, extra-firm tofu, and always press your tofu very well before grilling. This removes a lot of the water that is naturally in tofu and will allow it to grill better. 

Ingredients:

  • One 14-ounce block extra firm tofu
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoon white miso
  • 2 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 1-2 garlic cloves, minced
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1-2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional) 

Directions:

  1. Prepare the tofu by pressing all the water out. Slice into 6-8 rectangles.
  2. Whisk together the lemon juice, miso, avocado oil, garlic and black pepper. Pour 2/3 of the marinate over the tofu and let marinate for 30 minutes or longer. 
  3. Grill the tofu approximately 5 minutes on each side.
  4. Top with reserved marinate and chopped parsley and serve.
