Delicious and healthy grilled tofu skewers marinated in a savory blend of soy sauce, olive oil, and garlic, paired with colorful vegetables for a perfect plant-based meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 block (14 oz) firm tofu, pressed and cubed
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 bell peppers, cut into chunks
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced
- 1 medium onion, cut into chunks
- 8–10 wooden skewers
Instructions
- Marinate the Tofu: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, and lemon juice. Add pressed tofu cubes and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare Veggies: While tofu marinates, chop bell peppers, zucchini, and onion into skewer-friendly pieces of similar size.
- Assemble Skewers: Thread marinated tofu and vegetables onto skewers alternately, leaving small gaps between pieces.
- Preheat Grill: Heat grill to medium-high heat (375°F) and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
- Grill Skewers: Cook skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown and vegetables are tender.
- Serve: Drizzle with remaining marinade or fresh lemon juice before serving hot.
Notes
- Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before threading to prevent burning
- Cut all ingredients into similar-sized pieces for even cooking throughout
- Reserve some marinade before adding tofu to use as a finishing sauce
- Don’t overcrowd the skewers – leave space for heat circulation
