Begin by preparing the marinade. In a large bowl, mix together olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Cut the zucchini into thick slices, the eggplant into rounds, and the bell peppers into wide strips. Remove the stems from the portobello mushrooms.
Press the tofu block to remove excess moisture and cut it into thick slabs.
Add the prepared vegetables and tofu into the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and let marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to an hour in the refrigerator for enhanced flavor.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Remove the vegetables and tofu from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off, and reserve the marinade.
Place the vegetables and tofu on the grill. Cook each side for 4-5 minutes, or until grill marks appear and they are fully cooked.
While grilling, brush occasionally with the reserved marinade to maintain moisture and flavor.
Once cooked to your desired level, remove from the grill and arrange the assorted vegetables and tofu on a large platter.
Garnish with extra rosemary if desired and serve immediately.
