Tofu Skewers
Tofu Skewers are layered with the flavors of charred red onion, mushrooms, and roasted red peppers in a tofu steak marinade. So, next time you are grillin' and chillin', grill up some tofu skewers.

Ingredients
- 14 ounces sprouted tofu or extra-firm tofu, pressed and dried, and cut into 1 inch cubes
- 16 ounces mushrooms cleaned and stems removed
- 1 large red onion cut into quarters, then cut into equal size pieces similar to the tofu cubes
- 2 red bell pepper cut into equal size pieces similar to the tofu cubes
Tofu Marinade
- ⅓ cup soy sauce or Tamari
- ⅓ cup fresh lemon juice
- ¼ cup vegan Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 ½ Tablespoon garlic powder
- 3 Tablespoons basil
- 1 ½ Tablespoons parsley
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon Sriracha option, but suggested
Instructions
TOFU MARINADE
- Whisk all the ingredients together and set aside.
- If using extra-firm tofu, instead of sprouted tofu, Drain and press tofu according to these directions: How to Press Tofu.
- Cut tofu into 1-inch cubes
- Place tofu in a refrigerator safe container with a top and pour marinade over the top.
- Marinate overnight or at least a few hours, moving the container around, so all the tofu absorbs the marinade's flavors.
PREPARING AND GRILLING TOFU SKEWERS
- Preheat the grill to 400 degrees or medium
- Place tofu and vegetables on skewers, rotating tofu with alternative vegetables.
- Place tofu skewers directly on the grill or on a grill mat.
- Cook for about 8 minutes on each side, rotating every 4 minutes.
- Remove from the grill and place back in the marinade until ready to use.
- Then, I always remove the tofu and vegetables in a large family-sized bowl and pour the leftover marinade over the top.
Notes
Sometimes I serve with a large family-sized bowl of rice, or this time I made my Asparagus Salad and my Vegan Potato Salad. Let's say today's BBQ with the kids went well because there wasn't a leftover in the house.
