Veggie BBQ ideas for your summer sizzle
Sun’s out, BBQ on. Thankfully, we’ve loads of meat-free, plant-based, vegetarian and vegan BBQ recipes your family and friends will relish (and demolish). Let everyone share sunshine-filled plates piled high with veggie BBQ delights.
Go on, light up the barbie. Get out the paper plates. Check out our delicious recipe ideas below. And make mouthwatering memories of long summer days.
Very tasty vegan Vietnamese Tofu Skewers
Marinated tofu tastes great when grilled on the BBQ. (Psst… extra firm works best, and ours is ready to use from the pack with no pressing.) If you want proof, these delicious Vietnamese Tofu Skewers are bursting with subtle Asian spices and fantastically rich flavours.
They only need ten minutes to marinate, then a few minutes each side on the BBQ. So for spontaneous sunshine and last-minute BBQs, they’re perfect. And vegan too. (You might want to double up the dipping sauce, as it tastes great with every other BBQ dish too!)
Give your guests a Vietnamese style vegan BBQ treat (it’s easier than they’ll think!)
Our brilliant BBQ Tofu Rainbow Summer Salad
Who needs sunshine when you’ve got this BBQ Tofu Rainbow Summer Salad? It tastes like summer in a bowl, and it’s effortlessly vegan.
Our recipe shows how you can prep the tofu in an air fryer, but for a full on BBQ experience, char grill the chunks over an open flame. (The easiest way is to thread them onto a skewer to grill, then take them off and mix with the salad.)
Full of colour and filled with flavour, this is the salad your guests will seek out again and again. It’s the ideal bright and inviting centrepiece. And it’s easy to switch it up to include all your family’s favourite salad items.
A BBQ salad never looked (or tasted) so good.
Easy Chimichurri Tofu with Grilled Vegetables
Take your BBQ flavour inspo from South America with our Easy Chimichurri Tofu with Grilled Vegetables. It’s a classic, with a vegan twist.
Making it work on the BBQ is simple too - just skewer and grill the tofu and veggies. Delightfully different, the herbs add exceptional tastiness. It looks like it took an age to prepare (we promise not to tell it’s done and chimichurri dusted in minutes). In fact, the only downside is that everyone will want every single BBQ at yours from now on.
Give it a go, and try a taste of South American sunshine.
Tasty summer Tofu ‘Halloumi’ Sharing Platter
Say hallo(umi) summer with this Tofu ‘Halloumi’ Sharing Platter. It’s like halloumi, but vegan! You could just do the tofu halloumi bit on the BBQ and serve with your classics, but it seems a shame to miss out on all the flavour of the full sharing platter.
It’s surprisingly simple to make. In fact, you could have it ready in just 15 minutes. (That’s about as long as it takes to remember where you put the BBQ tongs away last summer.) Just be sure to make plenty, because although it’s made for sharing you might find some want it all to themselves!
Share something magnificent, mouthwatering, and totally more-ish.
Did someone say sausages?
Of course, our Vegetarian Lincolnshire Sausages and Vegetarian Cumberland Sausages make a firm veggie BBQ favourite too. A family favourite crowd-pleaser, they’re great for kids and grown-ups alike.
Vegetarian and packed with protein, the herbs and spices add an abundance of flavour. And if you don’t fancy the classic hot dog and condiments, try slicing up the sausages and skewering alongside your favourite veggies before grilling. There’s something to keep everyone’s taste buds dancing.
Serve up our sausages for a simple way to add some extra sizzle.
Exceptional on the side.
Falafel Hummus Sharing Board
Ta-dah! This Falafel Hummus Sharing Board makes a magnificent tasty-filled statement. Brimming with summer flavour and sunshine colour, it brings the best of plant-powered goodness to one (enormous) plate.
With creamy hummus, irresistible salad, pickled veg, Middle Eastern Falafel and Marinated Tofu, there’s deliciousness wherever your serving spoon scoops first. People won’t just be coming back for seconds, but thirds and fourths and…
Make every veggie BBQ get-together glorious.
Hot Maple Breaded Tofu Bites & Peach Salad
For a different kind of summer salad, you can’t get better than this Hot Maple Breaded Tofu Bites & Peach Salad. It’s vegan. It’s got panko crisp spiced crumb. And it’s drizzled with a mouthwatering hot maple sauce.
Total irresistible-ness, this deserves your most stylish serving dish. Summer’s the season for peaches in the UK, and you can grill these on the BBQ to add a little extra smokiness (and boastfulness) if you like. Just remember to make plenty, because it won’t be around for long.
Get ready to be the talking point of the BBQ salad table this summer.
