Step 1
Press the 14 oz tofu for 15 minutes to remove excess water, then cut into 1-inch cubes. Cut the 1 red and 1 yellow bell pepper into 1-inch pieces and the 1 red onion into wedges.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 0.5 tsp salt, and 0.25 tsp black pepper. Add the tofu and vegetables and toss gently to coat.
Step 3
Thread the tofu, bell peppers, and onion onto skewers, alternating pieces. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes first.
Step 4
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and charred at the edges and the tofu is golden.
Step 5
Remove from the grill and let rest for 2 minutes. Serve hot with rice, salad, or your favorite dipping sauce.
