Peanut sauce is always a good standby. It always tastes good and there are so many recipes you can serve it with. For this bowl, extra firm tofu is skewered and then grilled until crispy. It is served over rice with roasted zucchini and the peanut sauce drizzled over it.

How to Make the Peanut Sauce

I have a go-to peanut sauce that NEVER fails. But I decided to slightly switch it up for this recipe and try something new. Here is what you need:

Add everything to a food processor and pulse until combined. Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed – I always like to add extra spice.

How to Make Roasted Zucchini

The zucchini for this recipe is super simple but incredibly tasty. Cut two medium zucchini into half moons and toss with oil & pepper.

Transfer the zucchini to a baking sheet and roast for 30 minutes. It should be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Add salt right before serving.

How to Make the Tofu Skewers

Start by draining, pressing and cubing a block of extra firm tofu. Skewer the cubes and sprinkle with salt & pepper.

Grease a non-stick skillet or griddle with oil spray and add the tofu skewers. Cook until browned on both sides (approx. 5 minutes per side).

How to Serve

To serve, add rice to each bowl. Top the rice with tofu skewers and zucchini. Drizzle the peanut sauce over the tofu and top with cilantro.

Serve with lots of lime wedges on the side! These bowls are savory, delicious and an easy weeknight dinner idea.
