Ingredients

• 2 medium Zucchini
• 2 large Red bell pepper
• 1 large Red onion
• 20 pieces Cherry tomatoes
• 400 grams Extra-firm tofu
• 120 ml Olive oil
• 60 ml Lemon juice
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves
• 20 grams Fresh basil leaves
• 20 grams Fresh parsley
• 10 grams Fresh rosemary
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 12 pieces Wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

Begin by soaking the wooden skewers in water to prevent burning during grilling.

Step 2

Cut the zucchini and red bell peppers into large chunks suitable for skewering. Cut the red onion into wedges.

Step 3

Slice the tofu into approximately 1-inch cubes.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, prepare the herb marinade by combining olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic cloves, chopped basil, parsley, rosemary, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Add the prepared vegetables and tofu to the mixing bowl and toss everything gently to coat thoroughly with the marinade. Allow marinating for at least 15 minutes for the flavors to absorb.

Step 6

While the ingredients are marinating, preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Step 7

Start assembling the skewers by threading the marinated zucchini, bell pepper, onion, cherry tomatoes, and tofu onto the wooden skewers, alternating to create a colorful sequence.

Step 8

Place the assembled skewers on the preheated grill. Grill each skewer for about 12-15 minutes, turning them occasionally to ensure an even char and cook on all sides.

Step 9

Once the vegetables are tender and have grill marks, remove the skewers from the heat.

Step 10

Serve immediately as a savory side dish or a wholesome main course. Enjoy!
