Baking Sheet
Cutting Board
Small Bowl
Skillet
Ingredients
- 14 oz block firm or extra firm tofu
- 1 tsp paprika 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 cup BBQ sauce
- 3 whole wheat buns
Instructions
Press the Tofu: Place the tofu on a baking sheet, top with a cutting board, and weigh it down with something heavy. Let it press for 30 minutes to remove excess water.
Cut and Season: Chop the tofu into 1/2-inch pieces. In a bowl, mix the spices, sprinkle over the tofu, and gently toss until coated.
Coat and Cut: Add 1 teaspoon of cornstarch to the tofu, fold to coat, and repeat twice more for an even layer. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the tofu and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes or until firm and browned on the edges.
Add BBQ Sauce: Remove the tofu from the heat, stir in the BBQ sauce, and coat evenly.
Assemble the Sliders: Divide the BBQ tofu among three buns and serve
