Ingredients:

• 1 block of firm tofu, pressed and cut into 1-inch cubes (Thomas and Ethel marinated the tofu for at least 20 mins)
• 1/4 cup Island Pineapple Balsamic
• 2 tablespoons liquid aminos
• 1 tablespoon agave nectar or maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon grated ginger
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
• Wooden skewers, soaked in water for at least 30 minutes

Directions:

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the Island Pineapple Balsamic, soy sauce, agave nectar/maple syrup, ginger, and garlic.
2. Thread the tofu, bell pepper, and onion onto the skewers, alternating between the three ingredients.
3. Brush the skewers with the pineapple balsamic glaze, making sure to coat all sides.
4. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for 5-7 minutes on each side, until the tofu is browned and slightly crispy.
5. Brush the skewers with the remaining glaze before serving.
