To grill tofu you will need to press the tofu, cut it into thick slabs and then marinate it for delicious flavor. I like to use extra firm tofu for grilling so it doesn’t fall apart and while I often marinate for 24 hours, you can still get great flavor in as little as 15 minutes. Grill on oiled grates on a preheated grill at 450°F for 8-10 minutes on each side.
