There are lots of amazing plant based grilling and BBQ recipes you can enjoy this summer. If that’s what you’re looking for, then grab a seat.

In this post, we’ll take a look at some plant-based grilling options, useful tips, as well as 30 amazing vegan BBQ and grilling recipes to satisfy your cravings this summer.

From your favorite kabobs or kebabs, to vegan steaks, grilled burgers, hot dogs, side salads, and lots more.

These vegan grilling recipes are super easy to make, loaded with flavor, and are sure to get even your meat-loving friends drooling.

Alright. Let’s get straight to it.

Vegan Grilling Options and Alternatives

Before we dive into the yummy stuff, let’s take a quick look at the grilling or BBQ options we have on a plant based diet.

1) Veggies

I mean, this is a no-brainer. Lots of tasty veggies make their way to the grill even in non-vegan diets. Tasty veggies like corn, zucchini, potatoes, aubergine, peppers, onions and portobello mushrooms are all great options to toss on the grill.

But it’s not just limited to these ones. You can grill just about any veggie, and even some fruits too. Avocados, cabbage, tomatoes, you name it.

2) Tofu

Tofu is a wonderful, high protein, plant-based meat substitute you’ll find in a lot of vegan and vegetarian recipes today. It has a great texture and can easily absorb whatever yummy flavor you want it to have. It’s certainly no surprise, that it’ll also be grill worthy.

3) Tempeh

Like tofu, tempeh is another tasty, high protein plant-based meat substitute. And like it’s brother, it also has a relatively nice texture that makes it perfect for a lot of BBQ recipes.

4) Seitan

Seitan is a high protein meat substitute made from wheat gluten. While its not as popular compared to superstars like tofu and tempeh, it’s still relatively well known, and also does well on the grill.
