Ingredients:
400g firm tofu, pressed and cut into 1-inch cubes
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
200g mushrooms, halved
12 wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
For the Chipotle Marinade:

Method:
In a large bowl, whisk together the chipotle paste, olive oil, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, smoked paprika, agave syrup, salt, and pepper.
Add the tofu cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably longer for more flavour.

Remove from the grill and optionally drizzle with a little more chipotle paste or olive oil.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Additional Tips:
Serve alongside a fresh green salad or a creamy vegan coleslaw.
For an extra kick, serve with a side of vegan chipotle mayonnaise for dipping.
