Ingredients

• Firm tofu - 200 grams
• Red bell pepper - 1 medium
• Zucchini - 1 medium
• Red onion - 1 medium
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Dried oregano - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Pita bread - 2 pieces
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Tahini - 2 tablespoons

Steps

1. Press the tofu for 15 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut it into 1-inch cubes.
2. Chop the red bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion into similar 1-inch pieces.
3. In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
4. Add the tofu and chopped vegetables to the marinade, tossing to coat evenly. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.
5. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat.
6. Thread the marinated tofu and vegetables onto skewers, alternating between tofu and vegetables.
7. Grill the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
8. Warm the pita bread on the grill for 1-2 minutes on each side.
9. Serve the skewers with tahini drizzled over and a sprinkle of chopped parsley, alongside warm pita.
