Ingredients for Veggie Skewers

2How to Make Veggie Skewers

Step 1 Prepare the Ingredients

First, soak the 100g of tofu in a bowl of clean water for about one hour to soften it.

After soaking, rinse and squeeze out the excess water from the tofu. Using a knife, slice the tofu lengthwise to make it thinner, then cut it in half.

Preparing the Tofu

Peel and clean the tapioca root, then cut it into small, long strips. Next, measure and cut the strips to match the length of the tofu pieces.

Step 2 Assemble the Skewers

Place the cut tapioca root in a bowl and add 40g of tapioca starch, mixing well to ensure the root is evenly coated.

Next, take a piece of tofu and wrap a coated tapioca strip inside, rolling it tightly and securing it with a skewer.

Heat a pan of oil on the stove until it reaches a boiling temperature. Carefully place the skewers into the pan and fry them over medium heat until they turn golden brown. Once done, remove them from the oil and drain the excess.

Frequently asked questions

The recipe for tasty vegan skewers includes ingredients such as firm tofu, bell peppers, zucchini, onion, and a delicious marinade made with soy sauce, maple syrup, garlic, and ginger. The tofu and vegetables are threaded onto skewers and grilled or baked until tender and slightly charred.

To make the marinade, simply whisk together soy sauce, maple syrup, olive oil, garlic, ginger, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. You can also add a little lemon juice for brightness. Marinate the tofu and vegetables in this mixture for at least 30 minutes, or even overnight for more intense flavor.

Here are a few tips for ensuring your vegan skewers turn out perfectly: use extra-firm tofu and press it beforehand to remove excess moisture; cut the tofu and vegetables into evenly sized pieces so they cook uniformly; and if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes before threading to prevent burning. Finally, cook the skewers on a well-oiled grill or baking sheet to ensure they don’t stick.

Absolutely! This recipe is quite versatile and can be adapted to your taste preferences. You can add other vegetables like eggplant, mushrooms, or cherry tomatoes. If you’re not a fan of tofu, you could substitute it with seitan or even grilled halloumi cheese for a vegetarian option. Feel free to experiment with different marinades and spices as well.

The cooking time will depend on your cooking method and the size of your skewers. If grilling, it should take around 10-12 minutes, flipping the skewers occasionally, until you achieve nice grill marks and the vegetables are tender. If baking, cook at 400°F for about 20-25 minutes, or until the tofu and vegetables are lightly browned and cooked through.
