    These vegan vegetable skewers are not only suitable for grilling, they are also suitable for baking in the oven on cool days.

    This homemade alternative to meat skewers is a great finger food for your next grill party and should not be missing in your repertoire for vegan grill recipes.

    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

    Other:


    paprika

    onion

    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.

    Serving Suggestions

    • Potato salad
    • Corn on the cob with Tahini herbs
    • Green bean salad
    • Pasta salad from my freebie collection

    Vegan Grilled Tofu Skewers (oil-free)

    Yield: 8 skewers
    Prep Time: 30 minutes
    Cook Time: 30 minutes
    Total Time: 1 hour

    Vegan grilled tofu skewers with spicy marinated tofu cubes, onions and bell peppers should not be left out of your next barbecue party. The spice marinade harmonizes perfectly with the peppers and onions. These extremely tasty Tofu skewers can also be wonderfully prepared in the oven, in case you want these skewers, but you do not want to turn on the grill.

    Vegan | oil-free | gluten-free | milk-free | lactose free | whole food plant-based

    Ingredients

    • 2 firm tofu blocks
    • 2 tablespoon tahini
    • 4 tablespoon water
    • 4 teaspoon tomato paste
    • 5 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
    • 6 tablespoon soy sauce
    • 4 cloves of garlic, crushed
    • ½ teaspoon chili flakes, ginger
    • 1 teaspoon paprika sweet
    • Salt pepper to taste
    • a few drops of liquid smoke

    Other

    • bell peppers
    • onions
    • skewers

    Instructions

    1. 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.
    2. In the meantime mix all ingredients in a sufficiently large container. That the tofu still fits.
    3. Cut the tofu to the desired size, I diced this, and put it into the container and coat everything with the marinade.
    4. Cover the container. If you have a lid, you can use it.
    5. Put in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 2 hours.
    6. Now cut the peppers and onion into large pieces to fit on the skewer. Place the tofu, onion and pepper alternately on the skewers.
    7. 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.
