Recipe:
Serves: 4
Preparation time: 30 minutes (plus marinating time)
Cooking time: 10 minutes
Total time: 40 minutes (plus marinating time)
Ingredients:
- 400g firm tofu, cut into cubes
- 200g vegan halloumi cheese, cut into cubes
- 2 bell peppers (one yellow, one red), cut into chunks
- 2 courgettes, sliced into rounds

For the Hot and Sweet BBQ Marinade:
- 1 cup of your favourite vegan barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons of hot sauce
- 2 tablespoons of maple syrup

4. Assemble the skewers by threading the marinated tofu and halloumi, bell peppers, courgettes, mushrooms, and sweetcorn rounds onto skewers.
5. Grill the skewers for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally and brushing with the remaining marinade, until the vegetables are tender and the tofu and halloumi have a nice char.
