Instructions
Prepare marinade in small bowl, and set aside.
Place vegetables on skewers, alternating as you go. Set skewers in a 9x13-inch casserole dish, and brush vegetables with marinade. Cover, and let sit at room temperature 30 minutes. If you have any remaining marinade, reserve it to coat vegetables while cooking.
Preheat grill. Place skewers over medium heat and grill 10 minutes or until done, turning occasionally as needed.
Other vegetable ideas are cucumbers, olives, potatoes, or yellow squash.
If using an indoor grill, you don't need to presoak the skewers.
Add firm or extra-firm tofu, cut into 2-inch cubes.
Bragg's Liquid Aminos is an alternative to soy sauce that has no added salt or preservatives. It's a certified non-GMO (not genetically modified) liquid protein concentrate, derived from healthy soybeans, that contains 16 essential and non-essential amino acids. Coconut Aminos is another option (my preference).
