Skewers are an easy way to turn tofu, seitan, vegetables, and even gnocchi into something a little more fun to cook and serve. They work on outdoor grills, griddle pans, or in the oven, which makes them useful well beyond barbecue season. These vegan skewer recipes range from smoky and spicy to fresh, herby, and slightly sweet.
The format is simple, but there is plenty of room to change the flavor. Marinades made with soy sauce, harissa, miso, maple syrup, herbs, citrus, or spices can completely change the finished dish, while dips and sauces add another layer once the skewers are cooked.
