Ingredients
- 14 oz extra-firm tofu
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Directions
Step 1
Start by draining and pressing the tofu. Remove the tofu from the package, drain the excess liquid, and place it between two plates with a heavy object on top. Allow pressing for at least 15 minutes to remove additional moisture.
Step 2
While the tofu is pressing, prepare the herb marinade. In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, basil, thyme, minced garlic, sea salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to combine and set aside.
Step 3
Once the tofu is pressed, cut it into 1-inch thick slices or cubes, depending on your preference.
Step 4
Place the cut tofu pieces into a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the herb marinade over the tofu, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Seal and place the tofu in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 1 hour, allowing the flavors to absorb.
Step 5
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Remove the tofu from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and place the tofu on the hot grill.
Step 7
Grill the tofu for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until grill marks form and the tofu is heated through.
Step 8
Transfer the grilled tofu to a serving platter and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
Step 9
Serve hot as a main dish or accompany with a side of your choice for a complete keto meal.
