Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, maple syrup, olive oil, ginger, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.

  2. Place the cubed tofu in a shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over the tofu, making sure each cube is coated. Reserve the remaining marinade for later.

  3. Cover the tofu and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse.

  4. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

  5. Assemble the skewers by alternating the marinated tofu, pineapple chunks, red onion wedges, and bell pepper pieces onto the soaked wooden skewers.

  6. Brush the assembled skewers with some olive oil to prevent sticking on the grill.

  7. Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the tofu is lightly charred and the vegetables are tender.

  8. While grilling, baste the skewers with the reserved marinade to enhance the flavors.

  9. Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

  10. Serve the Grilled Pineapple and Tofu Skewers hot, garnished with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of sesame seeds for extra flavor.
