Grilled Tofu Skewers

Grilled Tofu Skewers offer a delicious and nutritious plant-based option for barbecues. Tofu chunks are marinated in a savory mixture, threaded onto skewers, and grilled to create a smoky flavor that appeals to both vegans and non-vegans. These skewers can be paired with a quinoa salad or grilled vegetables, making it a great choice for warm gatherings or simple dinners. The combination of flavors and textures makes this dish an excellent addition to any meal, providing a satisfying and flavorful experience.

Ingredients

• 1 block extra-firm tofu, drained and pressed
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 tbsp maple syrup
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp ginger, grated
• 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil, for grilling
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, maple syrup, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes.
2. Cut tofu into 1-inch cubes and place in a shallow dish. Pour marinade over tofu and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even coating.
3. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Thread tofu cubes onto skewers, leaving a little space between each cube to ensure even grilling.
4. Brush the grill grates with vegetable oil to prevent sticking. Grill skewers for 10 to 12 minutes, turning occasionally, until tofu is charred on the edges.
5. Sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
