This saucy, savory favorite is the kind of recipe that turns tofu skeptics into believers. Crispy on the edges, tender on the inside, and drenched in sticky barbecue sauce, it’s a full-on flavor explosion in every bite.

Freezing and thawing the tofu gives it that chewy, hearty texture that perfectly holds up to the bold, peanut-butter-rich marinade. Once baked, it caramelizes beautifully under the tangy BBQ glaze. The smell alone will have everyone hovering around the kitchen waiting for the timer to go off.

Serve it up with roasted corn, creamy slaw, or even between a bun — this recipe has backyard BBQ energy any time of year.
