Tofu Marinade and Grilled Pineapple

Method

Preparation and Grilling

  1. 1

    Marinate the Tofu

    Press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut it into thick slices. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, olive oil, maple syrup, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper. Add the tofu slices to the marinade and let it sit for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight in the fridge for more flavor.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Pineapple

    While the tofu is marinating, prepare the pineapple by cutting it into thick slices. You may also marinate the pineapple in a little bit of the leftover tofu marinade for extra flavor.

  3. 3

    Grill the Tofu and Pineapple

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the tofu from the marinade and place it on the grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until grill marks appear. Grill the pineapple slices for about 2-3 minutes on each side until charred and caramelized.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Once grilled, remove both the tofu and pineapple from the grill. Serve the grilled tofu topped with the charred pineapple and garnish with chopped green onions.
