Method
Pat the tofu dry and rub all over with the vegetable oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and black pepper.
Preheat a griddle pan or grill to medium-high heat.
Grill the tofu for 6 minutes until well charred, then flip and grill for a further 6 minutes.
Brush both sides generously with the barbecue sauce and grill for a further 4 minutes, turning once, until glossy and caramelised.
Rest for 5 minutes before serving with any remaining barbecue sauce on the side.
