- 1 block firm tofu, pressed and cubed
- 1 red bell pepper, cubed
- 1 yellow bell pepper, cubed
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 red onion, quartered
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Chimichurri:
- 1 cup fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup fresh oregano
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Prepare the tofu and vegetables.
- Marinate tofu and veggies in mixture of olive oil, soy sauce, maple syrup, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper for 30 minutes.
- While tofu and veggies marinate, prepare the chimichurri sauce by combining all ingredients in a food processor and pulsing until finely chopped.
- Thread the tofu and vegetables onto skewers.
- Grill the skewers over medium heat for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the tofu is golden brown.
- Serve the skewers with chimichurri sauce.
Notes
- Pressing the tofu removes excess water for better texture.
- Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes in the chimichurri to your preference.
- Skewers can be prepared in advance and grilled when ready to serve.
