Ingredients

• Firm tofu - 300 grams
• Maple syrup - 3 tablespoons
• Dijon mustard - 2 tablespoons
• Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Smoked paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon

Steps

1. Press the tofu for 15 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut it into 1.5 cm thick slices.

3. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat.
4. Brush the tofu slices with the maple mustard glaze on both sides.
5. Place the tofu on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, basting with more glaze halfway through, until grill marks appear and the tofu is heated through.

7. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
