These addictive tofu bites can be served hot, room temperature, or cold. They are delicious as a main dish as well as in salads, wraps, tacos, or even as a topping for pizza.

What to serve with BBQ Tofu:

Mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, green beans… Anything that tends to pair well with traditional barbecue dishes will work with this tofu.

Here are some of my personal favorites:

Twice-Baked Potatoes 

Coleslaw Pasta Salad

Whole Grain Mustard Mashed Potatoes

Easy Cheesy Tetrazzini – serve BBQ tofu over the top – so good!

How to make Twice-Baked BBQ Tofu:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Into a large mixing bowl, add paprika, ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, sea salt, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, and olive oil. Stir to combine.

Add tofu and toss gently to coat. 

Onto the prepared baking sheet, arrange the tofu in an even layer. Keep the mixing bowl out.

Bake 35 minutes, turning halfway. Remove from the oven, leaving the oven on.

Into the mixing bowl, add the cooked tofu. Drizzle with barbecue sauce and toss gently to coat.

Return the barbecue sauce-coated tofu to the baking sheet, arranging it again in an even layer.

Return to the oven to bake for an additional 15 minutes. 

Serve hot, room temperature, or cold. 

 

Cheers!

    Super flavor! I cook oil free, so instead of the oil, I mixed equal parts water with tahini. It worked perfect! I will make this a lot this summer. It paired perfect with corn on the cob, mashed potatoes and green beans. Thank u!

    Wow! These were delicious!! They taste like little bits of bbq rib! I’m totally shocked. I’m thinking of tossing them on buns or along side a potato dish? I’m super impressed. Hubby is gonna love these.

      Thank you so much! This is one of our favorite summertime recipes. I’ve served it with potato salad, pasta salad, mashed potatoes… Leftovers are even good to snack on cold straight from the fridge!

      Can I also say my husband just had some (I made mashed potato bowls with the BBQ tofu, garlic mashed potatoes, Mac and cheese and corn) and he said it was the best thing he’s had in a long time and wants it regularly. I just had to share.
