Instructions
Creating Grilled Pineapple & Tofu Kebabs can be fun and straightforward. Follow these simple steps to achieve flavorful results:
1. Prepare the Tofu: Press the tofu to remove excess moisture. Place the tofu block between paper towels and put a weight on top for about 15-20 minutes.
2. Cut the Tofu: Slice the tofu into 1-inch cubes after pressing.
3. Make the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, maple syrup, olive oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, ground ginger, and black pepper.
4. Marinate the Tofu: Add the cubed tofu to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.
5. Prepare Vegetables: While the tofu is marinating, chop the pineapple, bell peppers, and red onion into chunks.
6. Skewer the Ingredients: Once marinated, thread the tofu, pineapple, bell peppers, and red onion onto skewers, alternating between them for a colorful presentation.
7. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C).
8. Grill the Kebabs: Grill the kebabs for 10-15 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the tofu is golden and the vegetables are tender and charred.
9. Remove from Grill: Carefully take the skewers off the grill and place them on a serving platter.
Following these steps will lead to a splendid presentation of Grilled Pineapple & Tofu Kebabs, ready to be enjoyed by all.
