INGREDIENT NOTES:

FIRM TOFU:

• Tofu is the basic ingredient in this recipe. We will marinate it and then bake it on the wooden skewers. The shape of the firm tofu will be okay when you bake it. An alternative for this can be tempeh.

BROCCOLI:

• Another ingredient that we will use on the skewers is broccoli. The color of the dish will improve when we add it. Broccoli is also a nutritious vegetable. Other ideas can be mushrooms, bell peppers, or zucchini.

OLIVE OIL:

• For the seasoning and marination, olive oil will be useful. The tofu will become brownish when it bakes. Using some neutral oil will be fine for this.

LEMON ZEST & JUICE:

• The taste of the dish will become fresh when we add both of these. The lemon zest is helpful in making a good scent for the dish. Bottled lemon juice is another idea to use.

GARLIC:

• We will use fresh garlic in this recipe. The fresh one will provide a better taste. Powder of garlic can also be an alternative option.
