Prepare the Tofu:
Slice the pressed tofu into cubes or rectangles, depending on your preference.

Let the tofu marinate in the BBQ sauce for at least 15-20 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Grill the Tofu:

Brush additional BBQ sauce on the tofu while grilling for extra flavor.
Prepare the Veggies:
In a bowl, toss the sliced bell pepper and zucchini with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Place the seasoned veggies on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until tender and lightly charred. Remove from the grill and set aside.
