Ingredients

• 300 grams firm tofu
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 1 large yellow bell pepper
• 1 large green bell pepper
• 2 medium red onion
• 1 large zucchini
• 200 grams cherry tomatoes
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 8 wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

Drain and press the firm tofu to remove excess moisture. Cut into 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

Chop the red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and green bell pepper into 1-inch pieces.

Step 3

Peel and cut the red onions into thick wedges.

Step 4

Slice the zucchini into 1/2-inch thick rounds.

Step 5

Peel and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 6

In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, maple syrup, minced garlic, smoked paprika, cumin powder, black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.

Step 7

Add the tofu cubes to the marinade and let them sit for at least 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even coating.

Step 8

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water during the marination time to prevent burning on the grill.

Step 9

Preheat the grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 10

Thread the marinated tofu, red onion wedges, zucchini slices, bell peppers, and cherry tomatoes onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating and distributing the vegetables evenly.

Step 11

Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 12

Place the kebabs on the grill and cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes to ensure even cooking and grill marks.

Step 13

Remove from the grill once the tofu and vegetables are nicely charred and cooked through.

Step 14

Serve immediately with a side of your favorite dipping sauce or over a bed of rice or salad.
