Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

One 14-ounce block extra-firm tofu, drained
1 medium zucchini (about 1/2 pound), cut into twelve 1/2-inch-thick rounds
1 medium yellow squash (about 1/2 pound), cut into twelve 1/2-inch-thick rounds
1 medium red onion, cut into twelve 1 1/2-inch pieces
1 red bell pepper, cut into twelve 1 1/2-inch pieces
2/3 cup lightly packed Italian parsley leaves, chopped
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallot
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 teaspoons honey
6 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the grill grates
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup toasted pine nuts (about 2.5 ounces)
Warm naan or pita, for serving

Steps:

  • If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes.
  • Cut the tofu into 12 equal pieces by making 2 cuts through the short side of the block and 3 on the longer side; each piece will be a 1 1/4-by-2-inch rectangle. Place the tofu pieces on a paper towel lined-plate, top with another paper towel and press gently to dry.
  • To assemble the skewers, thread a piece of tofu vertically onto a skewer, then top with a piece of zucchini, yellow squash, red onion and bell pepper. Repeat twice more, ending with a bell pepper. There should be 3 pieces of each ingredient per skewer. Repeat with remaining tofu and vegetables and place the skewers on a rimmed baking sheet or large platter.
  • To make the marinade and sauce, stir together the parsley, oregano, shallots, garlic, honey, vinegar, oil, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a medium bowl. Pour 2/3 cup of the marinade into a small bowl and stir in the pine nuts; set it aside for serving.
  • Spoon the remaining marinade over the skewers and use a pastry brush to coat all sides of the tofu and vegetables. Season the skewers with salt and pepper.
  • Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates with oil and grill the skewers, covered, turning them occasionally, until the tofu has grill marks and the vegetables are cooked through and a bit charred on the edges, 16 to 20 minutes.
  • Transfer the skewers to a platter and spoon the pine nut and herb sauce over them. Serve with warm naan or pita.

Tips:

  • Use extra firm tofu for best results. Extra firm tofu holds its shape better on skewers and grills without crumbling.
  • Press the tofu before grilling. This helps remove excess moisture and results in a firmer texture.
  • Marinate the tofu for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This allows the tofu to absorb the flavors of the marinade.
  • Grill the tofu over medium heat. This prevents the tofu from burning on the outside while still cooking through on the inside.
  • Baste the tofu with the marinade or sauce while grilling. This helps keep the tofu moist and flavorful.
  • Serve the tofu skewers immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Grilled tofu skewers are a delicious and healthy way to enjoy tofu. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a variety of marinades and sauces to choose from, you can create tofu skewers that are perfect for any occasion.
