The barbecue seasons may be here, but that doesn’t mean we’re all eager to start grilling up beef burgers and chicken wings galore. It’s easy for those of us with vegan or vegetarian diets to feel a little left out when it comes to barbecues… but that doesn’t need to be the case.

Here are some delicious meat-free barbecue recipes for you to wrap your taste buds around. So, next time you fire up the grill, oven or stove, try your hand at a few of these. You’ll soon see that you can have a fantastically flavoursome barbecue without slapping any meat on your plate – that is, if you didn’t know that already!

Grillable Veggie Burger

Ah, burgers. The staple of any great barbecue. But, as well as the standard beef burger, there are plenty of meatless varieties worthy of our summer feasts too. This first recipe is a mouth-watering vegan alternative, and there’s no reason you can’t serve these up alongside all the other choices in your barbecue banquets.

Cauliflower Wings

Wings are delicious, but you’re missing out on some seriously tasty choices if you stick solely to chicken. These vegan BBQ cauliflower wings are not only mouth-wateringly good, but they’re super simple with minimal ingredients needed. Bake these bad boys in the oven and serve them up alongside the rest of your veggie or vegan feast!

Membrillo-Glazed Halloumi Skewers

Halloumi is undoubtedly one of the best choices for a near-endless variety of meat-free dishes. These membrillo-glazed halloumi skewers are certainly no exception. With only five ingredients needed (not including the wooden BBQ skewers), these are the perfect hassle-free addition to any barbecue. Slap a few of these skewers on your grill and we guarantee people will be coming back for seconds – vegetarian or not!

Courgette Lollipops

Moving back to vegan options, courgettes are a vegetable you can truly work wonders with – and here’s just one of them. These courgette lollipops make for the perfect side on any barbecue, especially with all the scrumptious seasonings, garnishes and marinades thrown into the mix. Grill up a few and top your barbecue off with a tasty selection of green appetisers for a well-rounded feast.

Grilled Sweet Potato Wedges

Finishing the list off with another simple yet delectable dish, grilled sweet potato wedges are the perfect side for any barbecue main course. Easy to prepare on the grill, any spring or summer feast that doesn’t have a plate of these is surely missing out. This recipe also includes a garlic aioli dipping sauce, which is just a great as it sounds!
