How to Prepare Pineapple Island Kebabs [Vegan]

Combine all the ingredients for the marinade. Cut the tofu into cubes. Have all your other vegetables and fruit prepared. Place the tofu cubes into one storage bag or bowl and place the fruit and vegetables in the other. Add half the marinade into each of the storage bags or bowls. Make sure all the tofu and vegetables are covered in marinade. Cover and place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour; the longer the better.
While the tofu and vegetables are marinating, soak your bamboo skewers for at least 30 minutes so they won’t burn on the grill.
When you are ready to cook, place the tofu and vegetables on the skewers in whatever pattern you like. I like to use the zucchini rounds as bookends. I usually follow a pattern similar to this: zucchini, tofu, pineapple, onion chunk, tomato, onion chunk, pineapple, tofu and zucchini. This way you get 2 pieces of each item on each skewer.
Heat the oil in a grill pan over medium-high heat. Place 4 (or however many fit on your grill pan) kabobs on the grill pan and let cook until the tofu and veggies brown, about 5 minutes each side. Turn the kabobs carefully to make sure they cook on all sides. Serve with sides.
