Let’s gather the ingredients!
- 1 14-ounce extra firm tofu
- 3 tbsp olive oil (divided)
- 2 tsp cumin
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ¼ tsp onion powder
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp kosher salt (divided)
- ½ tsp black pepper (divided)
- 2 small zucchini (sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes (cut in half)
- 2 bell peppers (diced 1 inch)
- 1/4¼ cup barbecue sauce (vegan)
- 2 sprigs Rosemary (fresh)
Let’s Begin!
- Preheat a gas or charcoal grill on medium-high heat.
- Pat the tofu dry with a towel. Wrap it with a dry towel and place a cast iron pan or cutting board on top to press out more of the liquid. Let stand for 15 minutes. Then cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp olive oil, cumin, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper.
- Add the tofu to the spiced oil, stirring it around, so the tofu is coated in the mixture.
- In another bowl, toss the vegetables with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper.
- Thread the tofu, vegetables, and fresh rosemary on the skewers.
- Grill the skewers until the tofu and veggies are charred at the edges and have grill marks, about 2 minutes per side. In the last few minutes of grilling, brush with vegan barbecue sauce.
- Serve and enjoy with family and friends!
