Introduction
Summer is the perfect season to enjoy the outdoors and have a BBQ party with friends and family. But for vegans, attending such events can pose a challenge as most BBQ dishes are meat-based. However, with the increasing popularity of veganism, there are now plenty of options available for vegans to enjoy a delicious and healthy BBQ. In this article, we will share with you some of the best vegan BBQ recipes that you can try out this summer.
Grilled Portobello Mushroom Burgers
Who said burgers have to be made with meat? This vegan burger recipe uses large portobello mushrooms as the patty, giving it a meaty texture and flavor. To make the burger, marinate the mushrooms in a mixture of balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, and herbs for at least 30 minutes. Grill the mushrooms for around 5 minutes on each side until they are tender and juicy. Serve the burger on a vegan bun with your favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomato, and vegan cheese.
BBQ Tofu Skewers
Tofu is a versatile ingredient that can be used in many vegan recipes, including BBQ skewers. To make the skewers, cut tofu into cubes and marinate in a mixture of BBQ sauce, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger for at least 30 minutes. Thread the tofu cubes onto skewers along with your favorite veggies such as bell peppers, onions, and zucchini. Grill the skewers for around 5-7 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy.
Grilled Corn on the Cob
Corn on the cob is a classic BBQ side dish that can easily be made vegan. To make grilled corn on the cob, simply brush the corn with vegan butter or olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill the corn for around 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until it is charred on all sides. Serve with a sprinkle of fresh herbs and a squeeze of lime for an extra burst of flavor.
Vegan Potato Salad
Potato salad is a staple side dish at BBQ parties, but it usually contains mayonnaise which is not vegan-friendly. This vegan potato salad recipe uses a creamy dressing made from cashews, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard. To make the salad, boil potatoes until they are tender, then mix them with chopped celery, onion, and the cashew dressing. Chill the salad in the fridge for at least an hour before serving.
BBQ Jackfruit Sandwiches
Jackfruit is a tropical fruit that has gained popularity in recent years as a vegan meat substitute. To make BBQ jackfruit sandwiches, cook the jackfruit in a mixture of BBQ sauce, vegetable broth, and spices until it is tender and falls apart. Serve the jackfruit on a vegan bun with coleslaw or pickles for a tangy crunch.
Grilled Pineapple
Grilled pineapple is a simple yet delicious dessert that can be made on the BBQ. To make grilled pineapple, cut a pineapple into slices and brush them with a mixture of maple syrup and cinnamon. Grill the pineapple slices for around 2-3 minutes on each side until they are caramelized and golden brown. Serve the pineapple with a scoop of vegan ice cream for a sweet and refreshing finish to your BBQ.
Conclusion
Hosting a vegan BBQ party is not only delicious and healthy but also a great way to introduce non-vegans to vegan food. These vegan BBQ recipes are easy to make and will surely impress your guests. So fire up the grill and enjoy a summer full of delicious vegan BBQ dishes.
