Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons fresh pineapple juice
- 2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon ground turmeric (or 1 teaspoon freshly grated turmeric)
- 1 (14 oz) package extra-firm tofu

- In a mixing bowl, combine tamari, apple cider vinegar, pineapple juice, ginger, garlic, and turmeric. Whisk until well blended.

- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Oil the grates to prevent sticking.
- Thread the marinated tofu and pineapple onto skewers.
- Grill for about 10 minutes total, turning occasionally until golden brown.
