    Grill the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are tender and slightly caramelized, and the tofu is lightly browned. Brush with the reserved glaze during the last few minutes of grilling.

    While the skewers are grilling, whisk together yuzu juice and grapeseed oil in a small bowl for the drizzle.

    Drizzle the yuzu mixture over the grilled skewers before serving.

Tips

  • Soaking wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before use will prevent them from burning on the grill.
  • These skewers can also be baked at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, if grilling is not an option.
