Ingredients

• 14 oz Extra firm tofu
• 1 medium Zucchini
• 1 large Red bell pepper
• 1 large Red onion
• 8 oz Button mushrooms
• 1 pint Cherry tomatoes
• 3 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce
• 2 tbsp Lemon juice
• 3 Garlic cloves
• 1 tsp Smoked paprika
• 1 tsp Ground cumin
• 1 tsp Ground coriander
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
• 12 Wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

Press the tofu for approximately 15 minutes to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

Cut the zucchini into thick half-moons, slice the red bell pepper into 1-inch pieces, and quarter the red onion.

Step 3

Clean the button mushrooms and leave them whole. Set all the vegetables aside.

Step 4

In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic cloves, smoked paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, black pepper, and salt to make the marinade.

Step 5

Add pressed tofu and chopped vegetables (zucchini, red bell pepper, red onion, mushrooms) to the marinade. Toss to coat evenly. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes (up to 2 hours for deeper flavor).

Step 6

While vegetables and tofu are marinating, soak wooden skewers in water to prevent burning during grilling.

Step 7

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 8

Thread the marinated tofu, vegetables, and cherry tomatoes onto the soaked skewers, alternating between the different types.

Step 9

Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning frequently until the vegetables are tender and have slightly charred edges.

Step 10

Garnish kebabs with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 11

Serve your vegan kebabs hot as a standalone dish or paired with a favorite salad, grain, or dipping sauce.
