Sweet and Spicy Tofu Burgers

This tofu burger recipe is juicy, flavorful, and grill-able! Pile it high with your favorite toppings and enjoy at your next cookout.

TOFU BURGERS. Yes. This is for real. As in, regular hamburger-style tofu burgers that stand up to being grilled and could probably fool any diehard meat eater into loving them. I’m not kidding here, people.

Remember the other day when we made this crunchy & colorful Thai salad together and it was wonderful and I told you that you’d be needing it for another recipe soon? That recipe is these tofu burgers and your mind is about to be blown.

Because –

1. These tofu burgers are AMAZING. Sweet and spicy with a slight crisp on the outside and tender perfection on the inside.
2. These tofu burgers grill up like a dream, meaning you have a brand new veg option for your next cookout.
3. These tofu burgers don’t look like tofu at all. They look like actual burgers.
4. These tofu burgers have flavor and texture that you would never expect from tofu. The BOMB.

With this recipe, it’s alllll about the marinade. There’s the tiniest bit of prep involved with the tofu – drain, press, cut into burger shape. You’ll need a round cookie cutter like this if you don’t want to try free-handing it. 😂 But other than that, you just have to mix up the marinade and toss the patties on the grill (or bake!).

Once they’re on the grill (or in the oven) cook the burgers for 8-10 minutes per side, bun ’em up, top with that Thai salad I’ve been raving about, and smash your burger! If you do it right, you will achieve the grill makes to end all grill marks. 👇😏😎

I planned on getting this recipe out a week earlier but life had other plans like flying home to help my parents move out of my childhood home and witness the sale of their business…. more on that in a later post.  For that reason, I’m keeping things short and sweet today. More time for the grilling and eating of these burgers, am I right?

SO – make these bad boys ASAP and tell me all about it. Deal? Deal. Tag me on Instagram so we can share your creation on our stories!

Ingredients

1 – 14 oz. package extra firm tofu
Marinade
2 Tablespoons tamari or soy sauce
1 Tablespoon sesame oil or olive oil
1 Tablespoon sriracha
1/2 Tablespoon maple syrup or honey
Spicy Mayo Sauce
1/4 cup vegannaise
1 Tablespoon sriracha
1/2 Tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

1. Combine marinade ingredients in a large ziplock bag. Shake to combine.
2. Drain tofu and press to remove as much excess water as possible. Slice the block of tofu in half lengthwise, then use a round cookie cutter to create “patties.”
3. Gently place tofu patties in the bag and rotate a few times to coat with the marinade. Refrigerate 30 minutes to 4 hours to marinate.
4. Meanwhile, combine spicy mayo ingredients in a small bowl and whisk together until smooth.
5. Heat grill to high and arrange tofu patties carefully on the grate. Grill 10 to 12 minutes per side.
6. Add tofu patty to a bun, pile on your favorite toppings, and enjoy!

Notes

These can also be made in the oven!
Preheat the oven to 400º. Line a baking sheet with parchment and arrange patties on the sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes, flip and return to oven for 8-10 more minutes.
