Ingredients

• 1 block of firm tofu
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4 slices of bread
• 1/2 cup lettuce, shredded
• 1/2 cup tomato, sliced
• 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
• 4 tablespoons vegan mayo
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Directions

1. Press the tofu: Place the tofu between two paper towels and place a heavy object, like a cast-iron skillet, on top. Let it sit for 15-20 minutes to remove excess moisture.
2. Slice the tofu: Cut the tofu into thin slices, about 1/4-inch thick.
3. Make the marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, maple syrup, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
4. Marinate the tofu: Place the tofu slices in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, making sure to coat each slice evenly. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.
5. Preheat the grill or grill pan: Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
6. Grill the tofu: Place the tofu slices on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until grill marks form and the tofu is heated through.
7. Toast the bread: While the tofu is grilling, toast the bread slices until golden brown.
8. Assemble the sandwich: Spread vegan mayo on one side of each bread slice. On the mayo side of two bread slices, spread Dijon mustard. Place a few tofu slices on one slice of bread, then top with lettuce, tomato, and red onion. Cover with the other bread slice, mustard side down.
9. Serve and enjoy: Cut the sandwich in half and serve immediately. Enjoy this delicious and filling grilled tofu sandwich!
10. Optional: Add avocado slices, pickles, or other toppings of your choice for extra flavor.
