Ingredients
- 7 oz (200g) extra-firm tofu, pressed and cubed
- 3.5 oz (100g) halloumi cheese, cubed
- 10-12 cherry tomatoes
- 1/2 lemon, juiced (about 1.5 tbsp)
- 1 tbsp fresh oregano, chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (plus more for garnish)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 wooden skewers, soaked in water
Instructions
- Prep: Press tofu for 15-20 minutes to remove excess water. Cut tofu and halloumi into 1-inch cubes. In a bowl, combine lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped oregano, salt, and pepper. Add tofu cubes and toss to coat. Marinate for at least 15 minutes while you prepare other ingredients.
- Preheat your grill or air fryer to medium-high (around 375°F / 190°C).
- Thread the marinated tofu, halloumi cubes, and cherry tomatoes alternately onto the soaked skewers.
- Grill or air fry the skewers for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the tofu is golden, halloumi is nicely browned, and tomatoes are slightly blistered.
- Carefully remove the skewers from the grill/air fryer. Garnish with fresh parsley.
- Serve immediately as a delightful and creative brunch meal.
