Ingredients

• 400 grams Extra firm tofu
• 1 medium Zucchini
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 medium Red onion
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary
• 8 Wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

Press the extra firm tofu between two towels to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

Slice the zucchini and red bell pepper into 1-inch pieces. Peel and cut the red onion into similar sized wedges.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, maple syrup, smoked paprika, garlic powder, ground black pepper, lemon juice, and fresh rosemary to form a marinade.

Step 4

Place the tofu cubes into the marinade. Gently toss so the tofu is evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes, turning occasionally.

Step 5

While the tofu is marinating, soak the wooden skewers in water to prevent burning during grilling.

Step 6

Thread the marinated tofu, zucchini, red bell pepper, and red onion onto the skewers, alternating between the pieces.

Step 7

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until grill marks appear and the vegetables are tender.

Step 9

Remove from the grill and let them cool slightly before serving.

Step 10

Serve these savory vegan skewers with your favorite dipping sauce or over a bed of rice for a complete meal.
