How to Make Grilled Tofu Skewers

  1. The first thing you will want to do is create your marinade. Add the marinade ingredients in a bowl or sealable bag and mix well. If using wooden bamboo skewers, soak them in water.
  2. Drain the tofu and pat it dry. Try to get out as much liquid as possible by pressing on it.
  3. Cut your tofu into cubes, and toss it in with the marinade. Then prep your vegetables and peaches. 
  4. Start assembling your skewers, add 1–2 tofu, veggies, and repeat. 
  5. Use a grilling pan and cook in the broiler or on the grill as directed. Remove and drizzle with the remaining marinade. 

Full measurements and directions for this recipe are in the printable recipe below. 

Tips and Tricks

Drain Tofu 

It is essential to drain and squeeze out as much liquid as possible when making this tofu skewers recipe. You can gently squeeze with paper towels to help pull out the liquid. 

Use Firm Tofu

Firm tofu will hold up best when cut and pushed onto the skewers. If you have softer tofu, you will find it might fall apart as it cooks. 

Variations

Vegetables

Feel free to change up the vegetables you use to pair with the tofu. Peppers, onions, mushrooms, etc., are all great options. You can also consider adding pineapple in place of the peaches. Just use what you have or what you enjoy eating. 

Marinade 

If you want to use a different marinade, go right ahead. This soy sauce-based marinade is one of my go-to’s. But any liquid marinade will work. 

Broil, Grill, or Air Fry

You can broiler your kebabs in the oven, toss them on the grill, or even pop them in your air fryer. All methods work great for heating up and cooking these skewers and infusing all the flavors together. 

Grilled Tofu Skewers FAQs

What type of tofu is best for grilling?

Firm, non-silken tofu is what I like to use. Having firm tofu is a must, or it will not hold together as it cooks. 

Why did my skewers burn up on the grill? 

Wooden bamboo skewers need to soak in water for at least 10–15 minutes before grilling. Otherwise, when tossed on the grill, they will burn up and make your skewers fall apart. 

What to serve with marinated tofu? 

Rice, cauliflower rice, and quinoa are all great options to pair with this marinated tofu and vegetables. Just cook up your grains how you like, remove the tofu and vegetables from skewers, and place them on top of the rice!
