Smoky, tangy, and lightly sweet, this BBQ tofu packs serious flavour minus the added sugar. Sweetened with Natvia Brown Sweetener, it’s a healthier twist on a classic recipe that delivers without compromise. Big on flavour and small on compromise. When your food works harder so you don’t have to.

Ingredients
- 400g firm tofu, pressed and cut into small cubes
- 2 tbsp Natvia Brown Sweetener
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/2 tsp chilli flakes (adjust to taste)
- 1 tbsp water
- Optional: ½ tsp soy sauce or a squeeze of lemon for extra depth
Method
- In a bowl, whisk together Natvia Brown Sweetener, tomato paste, smoked paprika, garlic, chilli flakes, and water until smooth.
- Toss half of the sauce with the tofu cubes to coat evenly.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the tofu and cook for 5–7 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden on all sides.
- Pour the remaining sauce over the tofu and cook for another 3–5 minutes, stirring gently, until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the tofu.
- Taste and adjust if needed, a tiny splash of soy sauce or lemon juice can lift the flavours.
- Serve warm with rice, quinoa, or a fresh salad.
