    The love affair with Gochugaru continues. If you haven’t yet tried Korean pepper blends like gochujang sauce or gohugaru pepper flakes, definitely get some and try in various ways! In Mac and cheese, Roasted Veggie Bowl, In Chickpea wraps. 

    I use Gochugaru pepper flakes(they are also available in some everyday spice brands), over tofu, veggies and melon, which get grilled and served with a simple chili lime sauce. The pepper flakes have a fantastic lemony peppery flavor and they work beautifully with tofu and veggies. You can use other peppers or flakes that you have. These veggie skewers are Easy and So Delicious!

    The large tofu cubes get crisped on the outside and juicy and soft inside. Grilled peppers and Melon(or other fruits) round out the flavor and texture of these skewers. Hubbs declared these some Amazing Tofu!

      I have the skewers on the rotisserie in my air fryer/convection oven right now. They are beautiful and smell amazing. My family is salivating! Another terrific recipe Richa.

      I didn’t have any gochugaru and could only find a massive bag of it at my local Asian shop. So I just used chipotle powder instead – it was super yum! I’ve grilled pineapple before but never thought to do melon.

      Skewers are fantastic! I really love the unique flavor blend. Rice vinegar and maple syrup? I definitely have to try this with tofu, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad!

      I love that you keep introducing us to different flavors and spices! I found Mccormick gochugaru flakes and grilled just the tofu. Served over some lettuce with this amazing sweet chili sauce. So Good!!
