Special Diet Notes: Indian-Inspired Grilled Vegan Skewers
By ingredients, this recipe is dairy-free / non-dairy, egg-free, gluten-free, peanut-free, tree nut-free, vegan, and vegetarian.
Ingredients
Method
- Hand mix lime juice and all spices into the yogurt in a small bowl. Set aside for brushing onto skewers while grilling them. Use a silicone pastry brush.
- Roast the squash cubes in 450ºF oven for 30 minutes. When the squash is done, remove from oven, and wet your wood skewers (2) first, to avoid burning.
- Thread the tofu cubes and butternut squash, alternating them for a total of 6 cubes per stick. Heat up your stove top grill pan, begin grilling skewers, then brush the yogurt sauce onto them. Turn them a quarter turn every other minute, to avoid over cooking any side. Baste the sauce on as needed when you turn them. Serve on a Japanese style plate if you have one, and you may put extra sauce in a mini dish on the corner of the plate.

I absolutely love cooking with skewers although, I must admit I always forget to soak my wooden skewers. I finally invested in some metal skewers & am happy to report no more skewers catching on fire..lol..Nice photo’s
