Looking for a delicious and satisfying vegetarian option for your next BBQ? Spicy green bean and tofu skewers are the perfect choice! These skewers are packed with flavor, easy to prepare, and sure to impress both vegetarians and meat-eaters alike.
Ingredients Needed
- 14 oz (400 g) firm tofu, cubed
- 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sriracha or hot sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
Preparation Steps
Start by preparing the marinade. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, sriracha, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a flavorful marinade.
Place the cubed tofu in a shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over it. Toss gently to coat all pieces evenly. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Meanwhile, prepare the green beans by rinsing and trimming the ends. Set aside.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated tofu and green beans alternately onto the soaked skewers, starting and ending with tofu if desired.
Grill the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the tofu is golden and slightly charred, and the green beans are tender.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these spicy green bean and tofu skewers hot off the grill. They pair wonderfully with a side of rice, a fresh salad, or some grilled vegetables. Garnish with chopped cilantro or a squeeze of lime for extra flavor.
This recipe is perfect for a vegetarian BBQ that everyone will enjoy. The combination of spicy marinade, crispy tofu, and crunchy green beans makes for a delightful and healthy meal.
