Yes I am a HUGE Olaf fan! Wasn't he the absolute best character in
Frozen?! Anyway, in summer I am ALWAYS having cookouts!! But you are a
vegan, Karissa?! Yes, yes I am, and I grill the hell out of my
vegetables ;) So here is my absolute favorite
grilled up vegan recipe. Veggie Kabobs. (Recipe for the BBQ Sauce coming
soon!)
For the Ingredients you will need the following;
- 1 fresh Pineapple
- 1 red, and 1 orange Bell Pepper
- 1 Red Onion
- 2 Ears of Fresh Corn
- 1 Tub of Firm/Extra Firm Tofu
- Garlic Powder
- BBQ Sauce
For the Utensils you will need
- A grill
- Wooden Skewers
- Tongs
Cut your vegetables, Tofu,and Pineapple into large chunky pieces. The corn is the hardest to slice and I usually use a bigger knife to hack them up. Then skew to your liking, be careful with the corn, but aim for the center, as it is the softest. Sprinkle the veggies and tofu with garlic powder and bring out to the grill.
My father is the Grill Master in my family so I always coax him into grilling my veggies to perfection. BUT If you have to do it yourself turn the grill to about 450, Set your skewers on the top rack of the grill, drizzle the top with BBQ sauce (make sure the tofu is well glazed with the bbq sauce) grill for about 5 minutes on each side. Add more sauce to the other side when you flip.
Be careful because the sticks are hot when you start to grill them, sometimes I use my fingers to flip and take off the grill, but if it gets too hot I switch to tongs. I like to make sure the Tofu is nice and grilled on the outside before I remove them.
This is a super fresh, perfect summer meal. Pair with a Veggie Burger,
and a side of Grilled Asparagus. Or just enjoy alone! I will be making many
more of these thisssss sssssuuuuuuuummmmmmerrrrrr!
Night!
