Tofu Skewers – Fresh, Flavorful & Fun!

 There’s something so satisfying about tofu skewers—they’re light yet filling, incredibly versatile, and full of vibrant flavors. Whether grilled, baked, or cooked in a pan, they bring together crispy tofu, juicy veggies, and aromatic spices in one perfect bite.

I served mine on a plate with fresh lettuce and crispbread, adding a refreshing crunch to every bite. But that’s just one way to enjoy them! These skewers pair beautifully with fluffy quinoa, a creamy dip like hummus, or even a warm tortilla wrap. You can also mix and match your veggies depending on what you have on hand—anything works!
