Whether you’re looking for a simple meatless meal, a side dish, or a delicious addition to your meal prep, this BBQ Crispy Tofu is a perfect choice. It’s quick, easy, and packed with flavor that’ll satisfy your cravings.

Ingredients:

  • 1 block of firm tofu, pressed
  • 2-3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • BBQ sauce (make sure to use a zero-point sauce or count the points if using store-bought)

Directions:

  1. Press the tofu: Start by pressing the tofu to remove excess moisture. This step is key for getting crispy tofu! Slice the tofu into small squares or rectangles. If you’re new to cooking tofu, I recommend avoiding cubing it for now, as that can be trickier to get perfectly crispy.
  2. Prepare the BBQ sauce: In a bowl, combine your BBQ sauce and minced garlic. The exact amount of BBQ sauce doesn’t matter—just make sure you have enough to coat the tofu after it’s cooked. If you’re using store-bought BBQ sauce, make sure to count the points for it.
  3. Cook the tofu: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Spray the pan with zero-calorie cooking spray to prevent sticking. Once the pan is hot, add the tofu pieces, making sure there’s enough room to flip each piece without any overlapping. Cook the tofu, flipping the pieces at least once, until they’re golden brown and crispy on all sides.
  4. Toss in BBQ sauce: Remove the tofu from the pan, then toss it in the BBQ sauce and garlic mixture, making sure each piece is well-coated. Return the tofu to the pan and cook for a few more minutes until the sauce heats up and starts to caramelize on the tofu.
  5. Serve: Once the tofu is crispy, caramelized, and coated in the delicious BBQ sauce, serve it hot. It’s perfect on its own or paired with your favorite sides!
