Ingredients

▢ 9 oz (250 g) firm tofu
▢ ⅓ pineapple
▢ 4 tbsp BBQ sauce or more for serving
▢ ½ tbsp sunflower oil

Instructions

Prepare the Homemade BBQ Sauce (+15 minutes) or use a store-bought one.
Wrap the tofu in a paper towel (or a clean dish towel) and press lightly to remove excess moisture. Cut into bite-sized cubes.
Peel the pineapple, cut out the core, and then cut it into bite-sized cubes. → You only need about ⅓ of a whole pineapple. Alternatively, you can use pre-cut ones, but make sure they are fresh and not canned.
Add tofu and pineapple to wooden skewers, alternating between each ingredient.
Mix 2 tablespoons of BBQ sauce with ½ tablespoon of sunflower oil and rub it on the skewers (the easiest way is to use a pastry brush). → It can be prepared up to a day ahead and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Heat the grill or grill pan. → I always rub my grill pan with a little sunflower oil beforehand.
Grill skewers for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally (but not too much) so that all sides get nice grill marks.
Brush with the remaining 2 tablespoons of BBQ sauce. Serve immediately! → Instead of brushing the skewers again, serve them with the remaining BBQ sauce for dipping.

Notes

Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Enjoy these skewers cold or reheat them briefly in a frying pan.
