What are vegan grilled tofu skewers?
Vegan Grilled Tofu skewers are the vegan version of the grill skewers that you can buy from a butcher.
As a meat substitute, we take tofu. Thanks to the delicious preparation, this tofu goes well on these grill skewers.
Basically we stick onions, tofu and paprika on a skewer. Use wooden shashlik skewers or metal skewers.
Ingredients
Here you will find a brief overview of which ingredients are actually contained in these BBQ skewers.
The exact amount can be found below in the recipe card.
Natural tofu
Tahini
water
Tomato paste
Apple Cider Vinegar
soy sauce
Garlic cloves
Chili flakes,
Sweet paprika
ginger
Sea salt
pepper
Liquid smoke

Skewers
Tofu Substitute
You can easily replace the tofu. If you're not a fan of tofu. You can also fall back on tempeh or seitan.
If you prefer to stay with vegetables, you can use e.g. zucchini, cauliflower florets.
Instruction
First, we press the tofu. Then, if you wish, you can freeze the tofu. Here the texture will change a bit. As thawing releases more water, the tofu becomes a little firmer. After you have thawed the tofu, you can press the tofu again and then cut into cubes. Remember that the cubes should be big enough to stick on skewers. Now we put the tofu cubes in the marinade for at least 2 hours. I like to prepare these the evening before, so I just have to put the skewers together.
Grill Instruction
You can grill these vegan grilled tofu skewers as normal.
We usually leave them on the grill until the tofu is quite firm on the outside and the onions have a nice color.
Can I put something else on the skewers?
Of course you can also take other vegetables.
Just take what you like or just eat. For example Corn on the cob, mushrooms, tomatoes. Here you can really take what you like best.
The onions make it into something special.

Ingredients
- 2 firm tofu blocks

Instructions
- Press the tofu. It takes about 10 minutes in the press. Then freeze and thaw again and press again. You will see the tofu loses more water.
- In the meantime mix all ingredients in a sufficiently large container. That the tofu still fits.
- Cut the tofu to the desired size, I diced this, and put it into the container and coat everything with the marinade.
- Cover the container. If you have a lid, you can use it.
- Put in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 2 hours.
- Now cut the peppers and onion into large pieces to fit on the skewer. Place the tofu, onion and pepper alternately on the skewers.
- The skewers are now ready for grilling or baking in the oven. In the oven, I bake this at 200 C for about 20-30 min. I leave them in until the tofu has the desired firmness.
