Vegan BBQ Tofu Bowls

BBQ sauce

pineapple tidbits

broccoli

red onions,

rice

Optional: Press the tofu before use. To press it, either use a tofu press or fold the block up in a dish cloth, put it on a plate and place a heavy object on it for 20-30 minutes.

If you don&#8217;t have rice prepared, start cooking that now according to package instructions. You can use brown rice, basmati rice or any other rice or grain you enjoy.

If you have the time, cube the tofu or cut it into triangles, mix with half of the BBQ sauce in a bowl or bag and marinate for 1-2 hours. This step is optional but will help the tofu absorb more flavour. If you didn&#8217;t plan ahead for this step, no problem, the tofu will still be good without the extra marinating time! Mix the tofu with the bbq sauce in a bowl and proceed.

For easy clean up, line a baking tray with parchment paper. Spread the tofu in a single layer on the tray and bake for 20 minutes.

While the tofu is baking, peel and slice the red onion into chunks, chop the broccoli into small florets and prepare the pineapple for later.

After 20 minutes, pull the tofu from the oven and push the pieces to the side of the tray. Add the rest of the bbq sauce to the tofu on the pan and mix to combine. Spread the chopped red onion on the other half of the pan and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper, if desired. Place the tray back in the oven for another 20 minutes.

While the onion and tofu are roasting, steam the broccoli. Bring a pot of water with a steamer basket to a boil and add the broccoli. Cover and steam for 3-5 minutes or until cooked al dente. Prepare the pineapple as well. If you&#8217;re using canned pineapple, drain and chop if needed. If you&#8217;re using fresh pineapple, chop into bite-sized pieces.

Once everything is ready, divide the ingredients between 4 serving bowls or food storage containers, top with a little extra BBQ sauce and enjoy.

This was absolutely delicious and super easy to make. I added a bit of avocado and swapped the pineapple for corn and it was perfect. 
This was my first time having tofu and it was lovely with the BBQ sauce. Next time I’m going to marinate it overnight for a fuller flavour. I’m really looking forward to making this again. Thank you so much! :)

Pretty good. I wish the veggies + rice were a bit more flavourful though. Easy and healthy recipe though!

This is a super flavour combo and the dish is so easy to make, too! I added cilantro and some steamed green beans to the mix. Will definitely make again!

This was my first adventure into the world of tofu and I loved it! The directions were easy to follow and the recipe was simple and delicious!

We made this last night and it was absolutely a winner! Hubby wasn’t sure about the pineapple but it pushed the taste of this dish over the top!  Thank you! Will be adding this to our rotation. 

This dish is taste amazing and so easy to make. We roasted the broccoli and my husband loves it is now one of our main dishes for dinner. thank you!

Batch of my Homemade No-Cook BBQ Sauce **

Drain and press a block of tofu to...

Drain and press a block of tofu to squeeze out the liquid. Put the tofu between two heavy cutting boards, or use a tofu press. Press the tofu for about 20 minutes or up to 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 425° F (220° C)....

Preheat the oven to 425° F (220° C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Cut the drained and pressed tofu block crosswise...

Cut the drained and pressed tofu block crosswise into ⅓ inch thick rectangles. You will have about 12 pieces. Arrange tofu rectangles in a single layer on the parchment-lined baking sheet.

Bake the tofu pieces for 12 minutes, then...

Bake the tofu pieces for 12 minutes, then flip and bake 8-10 more minutes until it just begins to develop crispy, slightly golden edges. Take the tofu out and brush the top of each piece with BBQ sauce. It’s OK if things look messy.

Return the tofu back into the oven and...

Return the tofu back into the oven and bake for another 5-6 minutes. Take it out, flip, and brush the side that didn't get any sauce on it yet. Return to the oven and bake another 4-5 minutes.

The tofu is done once its edges are...

The tofu is done once its edges are firm to the touch (don't break if you press them with a finger). Take the tofu out and rub with a bit more barbecue sauce if you like it extra saucy. Tofu can be made up to a week in advance and stored in the fridge before you make the sandwiches.

Split the sandwich rolls in half and toast...

Split the sandwich rolls in half and toast lightly. Spread avocado slices (if using) on the top part of each roll. Arrange the barbecue tofu on the bottom part, about 4 pieces per sandwich. Brush with more barbecue sauce if you'd like. Top with pickles and onions.
