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!
