Pineapple BBQ Tofu
Pineapple BBQ Tofu combines extra-firm tofu with a sweet and tangy fresh pineapple barbecue sauce. The marinated tofu is cooked under the broiler, so no outdoor grill is needed.

Notes
Tips for the Best Pineapple BBQ Tofu
- Use extra-firm tofu. Softer varieties can break when the planks are flipped.
- Press the tofu first. Removing excess water helps the marinade stay on the surface.
- Cut evenly sized planks. Pieces of similar thickness will cook at approximately the same rate.
- Use a rimmed baking sheet. The raised edge helps contain the sauce as the tofu broils.
- Watch the tofu closely. Broilers vary, and barbecue sauce can brown quickly because it contains sugar.
- Flip carefully. Use a thin spatula to turn the tofu without breaking the planks.
