Marinated Tofu and Vegetable Skewers
These tofu and vegetable skewers are a quick and easy way to get your veggies in. They're perfect for a weeknight dinner or a summer cookout. The tofu is marinated in a flavorful soy sauce mixture, and the vegetables are roasted until tender and slightly charred. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
I first came up with this recipe when I was looking for a way to use up some leftover tofu. I had been wanting to try making tofu skewers for a while, and I thought this would be the perfect opportunity. I marinated the tofu in a simple soy sauce mixture, and then roasted it with some broccoli, bell peppers, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes. The skewers turned out great! The tofu was flavorful and slightly crispy, and the vegetables were tender and slightly charred. I've been making these skewers ever since, and they've become a favorite of mine. I love that they're so easy to make, and they're always a hit with my friends and family.
