PRESENTATION

Tofu skewers can totally change the way you think about tofu. Seriously. With the right marinade—like soy sauce, lemon, honey, and a hint of Tabasco—you get an amazing sweet and sour vibe that really, really wakes up your taste buds. These marinated tofu skewers? They’re all about balance: tangy from the lemon, a bit sweet thanks to the honey, and just enough heat to keep things super interesting. The tofu soaks up all those flavors—tender and so much more than just a basic protein.

Add some colorful veggies, like bell peppers, zucchini, or even chunks of moist eggplant, and you’ve got vegetable skewers that not only look great but also feel fresh and light. You know, fans of Asian food—or anyone looking to try a new twist on vegetarian grilling—really love how these skewers fit right in at summer gatherings.

Pairing these with a fresh yogurt sauce makes everything even more refreshing. It cuts through the crispy edges from the grill and mellows out the tangy notes in the tofu. For anyone into healthy eating or searching for simple summer BBQ ideas, plant-based skewers like these are a real win. People switch it up by layering in slices of eggplant or stacking the tofu and veggies lasagna-style, like a millefeuille, for extra layers and flavor.

These vegan kebabs? You’ll find them at all sorts of gatherings—people just pass them around on trays, and they disappear fast because they’re so easy to eat and packed with golden, grilled goodness. Even fans of meatier dishes end up reaching for these. They’re just so moist, zesty, and different from the usual BBQ fare.

Next time you’re thinking about tofu skewers or searching for easy tofu recipes, these vegetable skewers are a solid pick. Light, tasty, and perfect for sharing with friends on warm summer nights. So, fire up the grill and get ready to enjoy these delicious, Asian-inspired treats. Can’t go wrong.

Preparation

How to prepare Marinated Tofu and Vegetable Skewers

To prepare the marinated tofu and vegetable skewers, first cut the tofu into cubes of about 3/4 inch 1. Transfer the cubes to a baking dish and add the marinade ingredients: the soy sauce 2, the oil 3,

the juice of half a lemon 4, the Tabasco 5, and the honey 6.

Mix everything together and cover the baking dish with plastic wrap. Let it marinate while you proceed with the rest of the preparation 7. To make the sauce, pour the Greek yogurt into a small bowl and add the juice of half a lemon 8 and the chives 9.

Add salt, pepper 10, and stir with a teaspoon 11 to obtain a smooth sauce 12.

At this point, clean the red and yellow bell peppers and cut them into pieces about 3/4 inch wide 13. For the cucumber, use a vegetable peeler to get thin slices 14. Now take skewers about 10 inches long and assemble the skewers, alternating the tofu cubes with the bell pepper pieces and cucumber slices, which should be folded onto themselves 15. Retain the marinade liquid.

Heat a grill well and place the skewers on it, drizzling them with the marinade liquid 16. Cook the skewers for a total of 6 minutes, turning them on all sides 17. Once cooked, serve your marinated tofu and vegetable skewers immediately, accompanied by the yogurt sauce 18!
