  • Author: Nora Bennett
  • Total Time: 16 minute

Ingredients

– 16 ounces firm tofu
– 1/4 cup soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 2 tablespoons maple syrup
– 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon ginger powder
– 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
– Fresh vegetables (bell peppers, zucchini, mushrooms) for skewering
– Wooden or metal skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes)


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.

By following these straightforward instructions, you’ll have crowd-pleasing skewers ready in no time!
