Instructions
Creating these Grilled Tofu Skewers is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to ensure delicious results:
1. Prepare Tofu: Start by pressing the tofu for 15–20 minutes to remove excess moisture. This helps absorb the marinade better.
2. Cut Tofu: Once pressed, cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes or your desired shape.
3. Make Marinade: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, olive oil, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, ginger powder, and chili flakes. Whisk well.
4. Marinate Tofu: Place the tofu cubes in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Make sure every piece is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
5. Prepare Vegetables: While the tofu marinates, chop your preferred vegetables into similar-sized pieces for even cooking.
6. Skewering: Thread the marinated tofu and veggies onto skewers, alternating between tofu and vegetables for a colorful arrangement.
7. Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
8. Grill Skewers: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally until the tofu is golden and has grill marks.
9. Check Doneness: Ensure the vegetables are tender and the tofu is heated throughout.
10. Serve: Remove the skewers from the grill and let them cool slightly before serving.
