I don’t grill as often as I’d like to, but that’s because I’m not a fan of grilling plant-based meats for my vegetarian partner, John.e. Oftentimes, they stick to the grill or easily fall apart when being turned, so I avoid doing it as much as possible. However, with that said, I have to say that tofu works very well on the grill!
