Ingredients

• 14 oz extra firm tofu
• 1 cup vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 red bell pepper
• 1 green bell pepper
• 1 red onion
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 8 wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

Press the tofu to remove excess moisture by wrapping it in a clean kitchen towel and placing a heavy object on top for at least 15 minutes.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together vegetable broth, soy sauce, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.

Step 3

Cut the pressed tofu into 1-inch cubes.

Step 4

Place the tofu cubes in a sealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Allow them to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight for stronger flavor.

Step 5

While the tofu is marinating, cut the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and red onion into 1-inch pieces.

Step 6

Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.

Step 7

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 8

Thread the marinated tofu, bell peppers, red onion, and cherry tomatoes onto the skewers, alternating pieces for an appealing look.

Step 9

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the tofu is heated through with grill marks.

Step 10

Remove the skewers from the grill and serve immediately, alongside your favorite vegan dips or salads.
