Thyme and Lemon Grilled Tofu

Ingredients

• Black pepper (1/4 teaspoon)
• Salt (1/2 teaspoon)
• Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
• Garlic (2 cloves, minced)
• Lemon juice (2 tablespoons)
• Fresh thyme (2 tablespoons, chopped)
• Extra firm tofu (1 block (14 oz))

Instructions

1. Drain and press the tofu to remove excess moisture.
2. In a bowl, whisk together the thyme, lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
3. Cut the tofu into slices or cubes, then place them in a shallow dish.
4. Pour the marinade over the tofu, making sure each piece is coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for more flavor.
5. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
6. Remove the tofu from the marinade and shake off any excess. Reserve the marinade for basting.
7. Grill the tofu for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until grill marks appear and the tofu is heated through.
8. While grilling, brush the tofu with the reserved marinade for extra flavor.
9. Remove the tofu from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
10. Serve the thyme and lemon grilled tofu with your favorite side dishes or on top of a salad.
