- Pat the slices dry and cut each slich into 3 or 4 triangles.
- Mix the marinade in a zip-lock bag, add the triangles and refrigerate until needed.
- Grill the tofu triangles until slightly browned. You could also skewer them with cut up vegetables and baste with the marinade.
- These are also very good the next day, served chilled with cooked green beans in the leftover marinade/dressing.

Steps:
- In a 1-gallon self-closing plastic bag, combine oil, lemon juice, herbes de Provence, black pepper, and chicken; seal the bag and shake to coat.
- Refrigerate 30 to 60 minutes.
- When you are ready to cook, spray a grill rack with cooking spray. Preheat a gas grill to medium/medium-high or prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill, with the rack placed 4 to 6 inches above the heat.
- Remove chicken from marinade and discard marinade.
- Place chicken on the grill and cook for 10 to 15 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink, and its juices run clear, turning once.
Tips:
- Choose firm or extra firm tofu. This type of tofu holds its shape better on the grill.
- Press the tofu before grilling. This helps to remove excess moisture and makes the tofu more flavorful.
- Marinate the tofu for at least 30 minutes. This helps to infuse the tofu with flavor.
- Use a grill pan or a well-oiled grill grate. This will help to prevent the tofu from sticking.
- Grill the tofu over medium heat. This will help to prevent the tofu from burning.
- Cook the tofu until it is golden brown and slightly crispy on the outside, but still tender on the inside. This usually takes about 10 minutes per side.
- Serve the tofu immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Lemon Herb Grilled Tofu is a delicious and healthy vegan-friendly dish that is perfect for summer grilling. The tofu is marinated in a flavorful mixture of lemon juice, herbs, and spices, then grilled to perfection. Serve it with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
