Hot weather is for grilling.
If you live in the US (or watch any movies or television shows set in the US), you know that at the center of pretty much all summer parties is the grill. And maybe a pool. Sizzling on the grill are usually some good ol-fashioned hamburgers or hot dogs. Or steak, if you’re fancy. How about for us plant-lovers? I’m here to tell you that veggies belong on the grill too!
My wonderful uncle recently gifted me a beautiful refurbished grill and a fancy basket to cook veggies in! (He knows me so well.) I’ve been having fun trying out different recipes on the grill, and boy does it come in handy on those hot days when you just cannot cook indoors…
If you like teriyaki and enjoy grilling, this is a great recipe for you! Easy to make with little hands-on time, you can make the whole meal on the grill, which means no need to turn on your stove or oven. Keep in mind that it does take a little time and planning to prep and marinate the tofu. But, it is totally worth it!
In addition to the teriyaki tofu, we will be grilling up some veggies in this recipe. You can grill many different types of veggies, but here are some great seasonal suggestions:
- Bell peppers
- Broccoli
- Summer squash (including Zucchini)
- Mushrooms
- Onions
- Asparagus
- Brussels Sprouts
- Cauliflower
- Eggplants
Bon appetit!
