Salad: Serve alongside a leafy/hearty/side salad like this Lebanese Fattoush salad, brown rice salad, creamy cucumber salad, or vegan potato salad.
Grains: Serve with plain or flavored grains like rice, quinoa, couscous, etc. Also, this one-pot vegetable rice or vegan pasta salad.
Bread: Serve the veggie tofu kabobs with a flatbread (like naan) or crusty bread and a side salad.
You can also use the cooked vegetable kabobs mixture within sandwiches, pita, and wraps with more salad veggies and possibly hummus or another sauce of your choice.

Recipe Notes and FAQs
For the crispiest results: I’ve found that baking the tofu skewers yields the crispiest tofu.
Can you grill the veggie kabobs? I’ve never tried using a grill. However, it should work. I recommend turning the skewers frequently and cooking over medium heat until lightly charred on every side.
Skip the skewers altogether: This delicious combination of veggies, tofu, and marinade doesn’t need to be threaded onto skewers to be enjoyed. You could also grill them in a grill basket, over a layer of heavy-duty foil, or baked loose in the oven. You can also omit the skewers to pan sauté the ingredients for a simple flavor-packed stir-fry.
Using metal skewers: If you use re-usable metal skewers, no soaking is necessary.
Don’t slice the veggies too thin: Otherwise, they tend to just spin around the vegetable kabobs and are a nightmare to keep in place. Thicker pieces’ wedge’ onto the skewer easier.
Double up on the glaze: Instead of serving with peanut sauce, you could also increase the amount of marinade to use as a dipping sauce for the tofu vegetable skewers.
Always press the tofu: You need it as firm as possible, so it doesn’t fall apart off the skewer.
