Photo: Veggie Kabobs with Herb and Garlic Marinade Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 medium red or white potatoes
- 1 cup firm or extra-firm tofu chunks
- 1 cup red, yellow or green bell pepper chunks
- 1 cup pineapple chunks
- 1 cup red onion chunks
- 1 cup white button mushrooms
- 1 cup zucchini or yellow squash chunks
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- Marinade, recipe follows
- Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
Directions
Cook potatoes in salted water until fork tender; let cool and cut into 1-inch chunks. Place potatoes and the vegetables in a shallow dish or container. Pour marinade over vegetables. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat.
Remove vegetables from the marinade, reserving marinade. Thread vegetables onto skewers, alternating colors. Cook skewers on grill until vegetables are lightly charred all over, about 10 minutes, basting with reserved marinade and turning occasionally.
Marinade:
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup lemon or lime juice
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Whisk together all ingredients in a small bowl. The marinade can be prepared in advance and held covered in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.

LOVE this recipe!!!! This dish has become a staple in our house, we eat it at least once a week. Sometimes I just roast the veggies/tofu in the oven using the marinade which is just as equally good as when prepared on the grill. I do cut the oil in half and add a little water in an effort to cut the fat. One of my all time favorite vegan recipes!

I used all the ingredients on this one and it was amazing. I used fresh squeezed lime juice. I ended up marinating the veggies for an extra hour and it was perfect. I did not marinade the pineapple. I was confused if I should do that or not as the recipe kept referencing to marinate "veggies". My mom liked it so much she poured some on her veggi patti to spice it up a bit. I will definitely cook these again. Highly recommended.
