Description

Smoked tofu and vegetable skewers feature tender cubes of smoky tofu paired with fresh vegetables, threaded onto skewers, and grilled until lightly charred and perfectly caramelized. The result is a delicious combination of smoky, juicy, and garden-fresh flavors that feels both wholesome and satisfying.

Perfect for backyard cookouts, weeknight dinners, or summer gatherings, these skewers are as beautiful as they are flavorful. Each bite delivers a wonderful mix of textures—from the hearty tofu to the tender-crisp vegetables—making them a crowd-pleasing option for vegans and non-vegans alike.

Simple, colorful, and packed with feel-good flavor, these skewers are sunshine on a stick.

Ingredients
  • 16 ounces extra firm organic tofu (cut into 1-inch cubes)
  • 16 ounces white button or baby bella mushrooms (halved)
  • 1 medium white or red onion (quartered-(use 1 to 2) 1-inch pieces)
  • 2 large bell peppers (any color, cut into 1-inch pieces)
  • 2 small zucchini (cut into 1-inch rounds)
Instructions
  1. 1

    Soak wood skewers in warm water for about 20 to 30 minutes before skewing your ingredients so they don't burn.

     

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, prepare all of your ingredients for the skewer.

    Try to keep the vegetable pieces uniform in size—this will make turning the skewers easier and help everything cook more evenly. 

     

  3. 3

    When the wood skewers are ready, skewer each vegetable, alternating them as you go.

     

  4. 4

    When all the vegetables are on the skewer, brush or spray them lightly with cooking oil before placing them on the grill; this helps keep them from drying out while grilling and adds extra flavor and crispiness.

     

  5. 5

    Grill each side for 3 to 5 minutes, turning three to four times until the vegetables are tender and cooked to your liking.

    Refrigerate any leftovers for up to 3 days.
