This is tofu like you’ve never seen it before.

Like, tofu with a spice crust. (YES! THANK YOU!) Tofu that feels worthy of building a meal around. Tofu that you can eat off the pan as a snack.

This is sheet pan BBQ Tofu, and it is an end-of-summer, healthy eating lifesaver.

BBQ Tofu is awesome because:

• It’s stupidly easy.
• It’s hands-off (SHEET PAN FTW).
• It’s a good source of protein.
• It’s vegan!
• It’s goes with… kind of everything.
• It keeps in the fridge.
• IT. IS. SO. GOOD.

BBQ spice crust coming atcha:

I just really love tofu, you guys (Exhibit A).

The extra-nice thing about this BBQ Tofu (besides the spice crust) is that you can serve it with any end-of-summer thing that your little heart loves.

Ideas include: roasted sweet potatoes, zucchini, sweet corn, green beans, avocado, quinoa, rice, coleslaw, tomatoes, bell peppers, mushrooms, AN-Y-THING.

My favorite combo is sweet potato, quinoa, green beans, and corn.

Shall we investigate the spice crust one more time?

Okay, and sauce. It’s important. I like a squeeze of honey and hot sauce for a low maintenance version, and green tahini for a fancy girl version. Magic green sauce would be very acceptable as well, and this beautifully easy honey mustard kind of sounds like the best of all worlds.
