Ingredients

  • 4 slices Firm Tofu
  • 1/4 cup Lemon juice
  • 4 cloves Garlic
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1In a medium bowl, combine the 1/4 cup of lemon juice, 4 cloves of garlic (minced), 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir everything together until well mixed.
  2. 2Add the 4 slices of firm tofu to the bowl with the marinade. Turn the tofu slices to coat them evenly. Let the tofu marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.
  3. 3Preheat your grill to medium heat, which is approximately 350-400°F (175-200°C).
  4. 4Carefully place the marinated tofu slices onto the preheated grill. Grill for 5 to 7 minutes on the first side, until golden brown and slightly firm to the touch.
  5. 5Flip the tofu slices over and grill for another 5 to 7 minutes on the second side, until they are golden brown and heated through. The tofu should feel firm but not mushy.
  6. 6Remove the grilled tofu from the grill and serve immediately.
