Vegetable Sticks

This is a healthy, easy-to-make, great-tasting cocktail snack. You can prepare the sticks in advance and roast them in the oven just before serving. Sprinkle them with some more masala just before serving to make them spicier.

2 oz. tofu
1 small green pepper
1 small onion
1 small tomato
1/4 tsp. red chili powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. dried mango powder (amchoor)
1/4 tsp. garam masala
1/4 tsp. cumin powder
Toothpicks
2 tsp. olive oil
A few drops lemon juice

• Cut the tofu, green pepper, onion, and tomatoes into 1/2-inch cubes.
• Mix all the dry spices (masalas) and set aside.
• On each toothpick, thread a piece of onion, green pepper, tomato, and tofu.
• Sprinkle with the olive oil.
• Arrange on a plate and sprinkle liberally with the prepared masala.
• Bake in a preheated oven for 10 minutes at 375oF, until the spices (masalas) and the vegetables are slightly roasted.
