For the marinade:

• 1 tbsp tamari sauce
• 1 tsp miso paste
• 1 tsp maple syrup
• The juice of 1/2 lemon

Instructions

• Mix all the marinade ingredients into a small bowl. Cut the tofu into cubes, place into a large bowl and pour over the marinade. Cover it with a plate and let it marinate for 2-3 hours or even better overnight if you can.
• Assemble the skewers by alternating the vegetables and apple with tofu. You should have some marinade left at the bottom of the bowl.
