Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 block extra firm tofu, drained and pat dry (no need to press first)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce, warmed, thinned with 1 tablespoon water
- 4 burger buns of choice
- Pickles, for serving
Quick Slaw
- 1/4 cup mayo of choice
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons white vinegar or lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt and ground pepper
- 3 cups shredded cabbage
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray lightly with oil, set aside.
- Using the large side of a cheese grater, grate the block of tofu to make small pieces of shredded tofu.
- Mix the oil, soy sauce, chili powder, smoked paprika and garlic powder into a large bowl. Add the shredded tofu and mix together until well combined. Spread the tofu on the prepared pan and cook for 30 minutes, stirring the tofu halfway through. The longer the tofu cooks, the chewier the threads of tofu will be.
- Add the warm BBQ sauce to the tofu and stir to combine until well coated.
Make the slaw
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayo, sugar, vinegar or lemon juice, salt, and pepper until combined. Add the slaw and toss until well combined.
- Serve the BBQ tofu on warmed buns and top with slaw and pickles!
