3 tablespoons soy sauce

Instructions for making Vegetable and Tofu Kebabs:
Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Marinate the Tofu: Place the cubed tofu in a separate bowl or resealable plastic bag and pour half of the marinade over it. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator for maximum flavor.
Prepare the Vegetables: While the tofu is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Cut the bell peppers, zucchini, red onion, and cherry tomatoes as instructed.
Assemble the Kebabs: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated tofu cubes and vegetables onto skewers, alternating between tofu and veggies.
Grill the Kebabs: Brush the kebabs with the remaining marinade and grill them for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the tofu is golden and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
Serve: Remove the kebabs from the grill and garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro. Serve hot with a side of rice, couscous, or a fresh salad.
Tips:
For extra flavor, soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before using to prevent burning.
You can use a mix of your favorite vegetables or add mushrooms for variety.
Adjust the level of sweetness and saltiness in the marinade according to your taste preferences.
Enjoy your delicious and healthy vegetable and tofu kebabs!
