Baked Barbecue Tofu

Tofu has a terrible reputation for being a tough protein to grill because it sticks to the grates, but that's not an issue that can't be solved with a few kitchen tricks. According to Serious Eats, the grill, not the tofu, is the culprit in the tofu-stuck-to-the-grill situation. If your tofu isn't obtaining those nice char marks, it's probably because you didn't clean your grill properly or didn't oil it before cooking.

Another thing to bear in mind is that tofu should not be grilled like meat. Cook tofu covered and on the colder part of the grill for crisp and tasty results. This acts as a sort of oven, drying off the tofu and making it crispier. You should care to spray the tofu with a marinade both before and after grilling to give it extra flavor. You may consume the remaining grilled tofu as a quick snack or serve it on a tray with other grilled vegetables. After all, who knows, you might end up buying tofu packs expressly for grilling the next time you throw a BBQ.
