Marinate the tofu overnight in a mixture of 1/2 cup water, 2 tbsp tamari, 2 tbsp onion powder, 1 tsp smoked paprika, and 1 tsp Dijon mustard.

Slice the marinated tofu into cubes.

Soak wooden skewers in water to prevent burning on the grill.

Chop vegetables (mushrooms, pineapple, red bell peppers, zucchini, cherry tomatoes) into roughly the same size for even cooking.

Thread the marinated tofu and vegetables onto the soaked skewers, twisting the skewer while pushing through mushrooms to prevent cracking.

Prepare the spicy peanut sauce by mixing together 2 tbsp peanut butter, 1.5 tsp low sodium tamari, 2 tbsp lime juice, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, and 1/4 cup water, adjusting water based on peanut butter consistency.

Preheat the griddle.

Place the skewers on the preheated griddle and baste with leftover marinade while cooking.

Grill the kebabs until cooked, then serve with the spicy peanut sauce.
