  1. Add tofu and raw veggies in a pattern to wooden skewers 
  2. In a saucer or on a plate pour in vegetable broth and let skewers marinate for about 5-10 minutes. You may need to flip the skewers for them to be evenly coated.
  3. Once the skewers are marinated, ensure that your grill is ready!
  4. Place your skewers on the grill and start to brush them with your homemade smokey BBQ sauce.
  5. Cook them about 8-10 minutes per side till tofu is lightly brown and the veggies have crisped. 

Sides To Try 

It is seriously fun to try out different types of foods on the BBQ! We love making roasted vegetables and corn. But the possibilities are endless! 

Grilled Brocolli + Mushrooms

  • To BBQ any vegetables, you will need to make a foal pack on the bbq or have a flat top that will work too. All I do is take my broccoli and mushroom with a bit of vegetable broth and wrap them in foil. Then I place them on the grill! They cook in about 15-20 minutes. This is an excellent opportunity for BBQ vegetable experimentation.

Spiced Grilled Corn 

  • I love corn on the BBQ! This is also very easy to do, and I would say make sure these guys hit the grill first since they take a while. I’ve seen a few methods for the, but I will suggest wrapping this in foil with a small amount of vegetable broth and your favourite spices! I always through in cayenne or paprika to give the corn a healthy spice kick! This will take about 20-30 minutes on the grill, and don’t forget to rotate.
