Description

Grilled veggies, teriyaki-marinated tofu, and grilled pineapple are topped over a rice bowl in this flavorful vegetarian dish.

Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) package extra firm tofu, drained and pressed
2/3 cup teriyaki sauce, divided
1 large red bell pepper
2 small zucchini
1/2 fresh pineapple, peeled and cored
1 large onion
1/4 cup olive oil
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 cups hot cooked rice
1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Directions

1 Slice tofu into 4 thick slices. Marinate in 1/3 cup of teriyaki sauce while you prepare the vegetables.
2 Cut bell pepper into 4 wedges; remove core and seeds. Cut ends off zucchini, then cut each zucchini in half lengthwise. Slice pineapple into 4 wedges. Cut onion into quarters. Place vegetables and pineapple onto a large platter. Brush with olive oil and season vegetables with salt and pepper.
3 Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil grate.
4 Grill onions for 4 minutes, turning halfway through. Add bell pepper, zucchini, and pineapple to the grill and continue grilling, turning occasionally, until done to your liking, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove to a platter as each item finishes cooking, and cut into bite-sized pieces when cool enough to handle.
5 Remove tofu from the marinade. Lightly oil the grate and grill 2 to 3 minutes per side.
6 Divide hot rice between 4 bowls. Top with grilled vegetables, pineapple, and tofu. Drizzle with remaining 1/3 cup teriyaki sauce. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve.
