Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 375-400°F (190-200°C).

  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, maple syrup, jerk seasoning, lime juice, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.

  3. Place the tofu slices in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, coating each slice thoroughly. Allow the tofu to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.

  4. Once the tofu has marinated, remove it from the dish and gently shake off any excess marinade.

  5. Place the tofu slices on the preheated grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until nice grill marks appear and the tofu is heated through.

  6. While grilling, baste the tofu with any leftover marinade to keep it moist and flavorful.

  7. Once the tofu is grilled to your liking, remove it from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.

  8. Sprinkle the grilled tofu with chopped fresh cilantro for a burst of color and freshness.

  9. Serve the Jerk Grilled Tofu hot alongside your favorite Caribbean-inspired sides like coconut rice, plantains, or a refreshing mango salsa.
