Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams seitan strips
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large yellow bell pepper
- 1 medium zucchini
- 1 large red onion
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 8 pieces wooden skewers
Instructions
Start by soaking the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Drain and pat the seitan strips dry with paper towels. Set aside.
Chop the red and yellow bell peppers into 1-inch squares. Slice the zucchini into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Cut the red onion into similar-sized pieces.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Whisk together well.
Add the seitan strips, bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion to the marinade. Gently toss until everything is well coated. Allow to marinate for at least 20 minutes for optimum flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated seitan and vegetables alternately onto the soaked skewers, distributing them evenly.
Place the skewers on the grill. Cook for 12-15 minutes, turning frequently, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred and the seitan is heated through.
Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill, let them cool slightly, and serve warm.
