Ingredients

  • 12 oz Extra firm tofu Cut into ½" x 1" x 1" squares

  • While tofu is pressing, chop all the vegetables and add to a large mixing bowl. Add in the oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper and toss to combine well. Set aside.
  • Cut Tofu into ½" x 1" x 1" squares.
  • Add tofu to large mixing bowl along with half the BBQ sauce. Toss to combine.
  • Now assemble the skewers. Start by adding one piece of tofu followed by each type of vegetable. We use two layers of onion and pepper since they are a bit thinner than the squash.
  • Add skewers to hot grill ensuring the tofu is directly touching the grill.
  • Grill, rotating and cooking each side every 5 minutes. Brush more BBQ sauce onto the Tofu between each rotation.
  • Once charred to your desire, remove and brush any remaining BBQ sauce onto the Tofu.
