Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Extra firm tofu
- 1 medium Zucchini
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Red onion
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary
- 8 Wooden skewers
Instructions
Press the extra firm tofu between two towels to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes.
Slice the zucchini and red bell pepper into 1-inch pieces. Peel and cut the red onion into similar sized wedges.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, maple syrup, smoked paprika, garlic powder, ground black pepper, lemon juice, and fresh rosemary to form a marinade.
Place the tofu cubes into the marinade. Gently toss so the tofu is evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes, turning occasionally.
While the tofu is marinating, soak the wooden skewers in water to prevent burning during grilling.
Thread the marinated tofu, zucchini, red bell pepper, and red onion onto the skewers, alternating between the pieces.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until grill marks appear and the vegetables are tender.
Remove from the grill and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve these savory vegan skewers with your favorite dipping sauce or over a bed of rice for a complete meal.
