Dinner Idea: Teriyaki Tofu and Veggie Kabobs

01/17/2020 by The Mama Maven

This year I’ve been experimenting with tofu a little more. I recently learned that to work with tofu, you should press out the water. Once I started doing this, marinating tofu and then putting it on skewers to grill it makes it so much easier. My recipe for Teriyaki Tofu and Veggie Skewers is a pretty simple one and so scrumptious. It’s quickly become a family favorite and a great meatless meal idea. Read on to see what I did.

Teriyaki Tofu and Vegetable Kabobs

First — you’ll need firm tofu, any veggies you want to grill (we chose eggplant, mushrooms, red peppers and onions), honey, olive oil, garlic, and low sodium teriyaki or soy sauce, as well as skewers (wooden or metal skewers). Get them online or in the produce or meat section of your supermarket. I believe I had 10 inch wooden skewers on hand, but I used metal ones for this recipe.

Take your tofu and remove the block from the package. Wrap it in either a towel or a few paper towels. It will become wet. Place it on a plate or cutting board and then place something heavy on top of it (like a cast iron skillet). I’d give this at least 20 minutes to an hour.

Then make your marinade. I used honey, garlic, olive oil, low sodium teriyaki or low sodium soy sauce. Mix 3 tablespoons olive oil, with 3 tablespoons of low sodium teriyaki sauce or low sodium soy sauce, 1.5 tablespoons honey, and one cube or garlic. Mix it all together.

Preheat your oven for 400 degrees. After tofu has been pressed for at least 20 minutes to an hour, pour the marinade over the tofu and let it marinate for 20 minutes. Then cut up the tofu and make sure the marinade covers every bit of it by tossing the cubes in it. Then cut up veggies.

Veggies

Take your veggies and cut up tofu and placed them on skewers onto your parchment paper on a sheet pan. I used these metal skewers, but you could use wooden ones also (your supermarket will have them or find them on Amazon).

Next, you can brush on olive oil or use an oil spray like this one. If you are following WW, you’ll totally want to use the oil spray. Once all your veggies are on skewers, place in your oven for around 27 minutes, turning over once. You may even need to spray or brush with oil once you flip it over.

I served this with brown basmati rice (that I made in my instant pot), recipe instructions here:

    Take your oil spray (I like Pomepian) and spritz over veggies.

    Serve!

Even my picky eaters enjoyed it (my little guy would not eat the onions, peppers or eggplant). But he ate the tofu and the mushrooms.
