Tofu vegetable skewers (grilled)

Delicious skewers of fine vegetables and tasty tofu, in BBQ marinade, perfect for the grill

Tofu vegetable skewers (grilled)

Grilled tofu vegetable skewers, because I’m putting my focus back on vegan, grillable treats. If you look around in the supermarkets, you can now find a wide range of vegan specialties. This in itself is good news, however, it often involves highly processed foods with many additives. I’m not against vegan fast food in general, but I prefer fresh food made from wholesome ingredients. Every now and then I like to treat myself to a Beyond Meat Burger and I have to say they do a great job. The burgers are really super good. But today we’re making our own barbecue skewers from scratch, including a delicious BBQ marinade.

Today we grill delicious vegetables, sweet potato, bell bell pepper, zucchini, eggplant and combine that with smoked tofu. This may not sound that spectacular at first glance, however, I have two highlights that make the skewers irresistible. Firstly, I pre-roast the vegetables in the oven, avoiding that the vegetables become dry. I’ve tried many recipes that put the veggies completely raw on the skewers and always felt like they tasted dry and not particularly flavorful. We solve this problem by roasting them briefly in the oven. Addiction factor guaranteed.

The second highlight is the BBQ marinade, which I mix together from tamari, maple syrup, white wine vinegar, tomato ketchup, lime juice, garlic cloves, paprika powder, salt and bell pepper. The pre-grilled skewers are rubbed vigorously with it and only then put on the grill. A pleasure! I can personally confirm this, then my husband and I together have eaten almost 12 skewers.
