Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, maple syrup, olive oil, ginger, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
-
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.
-
Cover the tofu and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse.
-
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
-
Assemble the skewers by alternating the marinated tofu, pineapple chunks, red onion wedges, and bell pepper pieces onto the soaked wooden skewers.
-
Brush the assembled skewers with some olive oil to prevent sticking on the grill.
-
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.
-
While grilling, baste the skewers with the reserved marinade to enhance the flavors.
-
Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
-
Serve the Grilled Pineapple and Tofu Skewers hot, garnished with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of sesame seeds for extra flavor.
