Ingredients

• 14 ounces firm tofu
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 1 medium zucchini
• 1 medium red onion
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 bamboo skewers

Directions

Step 1

Press the firm tofu to remove excess moisture by placing it between paper towels and a heavy object, like a cast iron skillet, for 15 minutes.

Step 2

While the tofu is pressing, soak the bamboo skewers in water to prevent them from burning on the grill.

Step 3

Cut the pressed tofu into 1-inch cubes. Set aside.

Step 4

Chop the red bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion into 1-inch pieces.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, coconut aminos, fresh lime juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well blended.

Step 6

Add the tofu cubes to the marinade, gently tossing to coat. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to an hour for fuller flavor.

Step 7

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat.

Step 8

Thread the marinated tofu and chopped vegetables alternately onto the soaked skewers.

Step 9

Place the skewers on the preheated grill, cooking for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until the tofu has nice grill marks and the vegetables are tender.

Step 10

Remove from the grill and serve immediately as a delicious plant-based main dish or alongside your favorite Whole30 sides.
