Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Start by pressing your tofu to remove excess moisture. You can do this by wrapping it in a clean kitchen towel and placing a heavy object on top for about 15 minutes.
- 2
While the tofu is pressing, chop your bell peppers, zucchini, red onion, and prepare your cherry tomatoes.
- 3
In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, maple syrup, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper to create a marinade.
- 4
Cut the pressed tofu into 1-inch cubes and gently toss them in the marinade. Let it sit for about 10 minutes.
- 5
Now it’s time to assemble! Thread the marinated tofu and veggies onto the soaked skewers, alternating between them. Get creative with the pattern!
- 6
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly brush the kebabs with any remaining marinade.
- 7
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the veggies are tender and slightly charred.
- 8
Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them cool slightly before serving.
