Description
Discover the delicious Greek-Style Tofu Souvlaki, a flavorful and healthy vegetarian take on the classic Greek dish. Tender tofu cubes are marinated in a tantalizing blend of herbs and spices, then grilled to perfection and served with fresh veggies for a quick and satisfying meal.
Ingredients
– 1 block (14 oz) extra-firm tofu, pressed and cut into 1-inch cubes
– 1/4 cup olive oil
– 3 tablespoons lemon juice
– 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
– 1 tablespoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
– 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
– 1 red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
– 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
– 1 lemon, cut into wedges for serving
Instructions
1. In a large resealable bag or bowl, combine the tofu cubes, olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, oregano, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat the tofu evenly. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
2. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
3. Thread the marinated tofu cubes, bell pepper pieces, and onion pieces onto skewers, alternating the ingredients.
4. Grill the souvlaki skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the tofu is lightly charred and the vegetables are tender.
5. Serve the Greek-Style Tofu Souvlaki skewers immediately, accompanied by the halved cherry tomatoes and lemon wedges.
Notes
For a heartier meal, serve the souvlaki skewers with pita bread, tzatziki sauce, and a fresh salad. You can also try marinating the tofu for longer (up to 2 hours) for even more flavor.
