Spiced tofu and veggie skewers

I made these spiced tofu and veggie skewers in an air fryer, but you can use a grill or griddle pan if preferred. It only takes 10 minutes to cook, so it’s a quick and easy dish, perfect for midweek suppers. Serve them in a flatbread or wrap with  a nice sauce and some crispy salad.

Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 150 g hard tofu
  • 2 banana shallots Echalion
  • ½ red pepper
  • For the marinade:
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • ¼ tsp cayenne
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

Method
 

  1. Mix the marinade in a mixing bowl.
  2. Cut the tofu into 2cm cubes, the red pepper, courgette into 2cm pieces.
  3. Peel the shallot and cut it into 3 or 4 wedges.
  4. Add these to the bowl and toss gently.
  5. Marinate for 10 minutes or longer if time allows.
  6. Thread 4 skewers with the marinated veggies and tofu.
  7. Put them on the rack in the air fryer, then set the machine to 10-15 minutes. Cook them until tender and golden-brown. Rotate them, if possible, at least once. If you don’t have an air fryer, put the skewers under the grill for 10 to 12 minutes or grill them in a griddle pan.
  8. Serve lukewarm.
