Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 block Firm tofu
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Tamari sauce
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 Red onion, cut into chunks
- 2 Bell peppers, assorted colors, cut into chunks
- 12 Cherry tomatoes
Instructions
Press the tofu block to remove excess moisture. Slice the tofu into 1-inch cubes.
In a large bowl, prepare the herb marinade by combining olive oil, tamari sauce, balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, minced garlic, chopped basil, parsley, rosemary, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Mix well.
Place the tofu cubes into the bowl with the marinade, stirring gently to ensure the tofu is well coated. Cover the bowl and allow the tofu to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight for more intense flavor.
While the tofu marinates, soak wooden skewers in water for at least 10 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Assemble the skewers by threading alternately marinated tofu cubes, chunks of red onion, bell peppers, and cherry tomatoes onto each skewer.
Once the grill is ready, place the skewers on the grill. Cook for about 7-8 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until the tofu is nicely charred and the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve hot as a main course or with your favorite dipping sauce.
