Instructions

1. 1

   Press 1 block (14 ounces) of extra-firm tofu for 30 minutes to remove excess water, then cut it into 1-inch cubes.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 3 tablespoons of maple syrup, 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon of smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 0.5 teaspoon of onion powder, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper to create the glaze.

3. 3

   Add the cubed 1 block of tofu, 2 ears of corn on the cob cut into 1-inch thick rounds, 1 large red bell pepper cut into 1-inch pieces, 1 medium green bell pepper cut into 1-inch pieces, and 0.5 medium red onion cut into 1-inch pieces to the bowl with the glaze, tossing gently to ensure everything is evenly coated.

4. 4

   Thread the glazed tofu and vegetables alternately onto wooden or metal skewers, ensuring not to overcrowd them.

5. 5

   Preheat a grill or an outdoor fire pit to medium-high heat, then brush the grill grates lightly with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking.

6. 6

   Place the skewers on the preheated grill, cooking for 15-20 minutes, turning every 4-5 minutes, until the tofu is charred and the vegetables are tender-crisp.

7. 7

   Serve the fire-roasted smoky tofu and vegetable skewers immediately as a hearty American dinner.
