That’s why we’ve compiled a list of our top five favourite vegan BBQ and grilling recipes. Dig into these deliciously charred, grilled, veggie-forward recipes below.
1. Grilled Portobello Mushroom Panini
Just because it’s meatless doesn’t mean it has to be flavourless. This mushroom panini sandwich is packed with charred, grilled, meaty flavour (courtesy of Portobello mushrooms and Montreal Steak Spice Seasoning) - you might forget for a second that this is a vegan recipe!
Round out this delicious grilled panini with a dash of balsamic vinegar and lightly toasted, thinly sliced Italian bread. Then, top with your favourite garnishes: lettuce, tomato, you name it – and enjoy!
2. Vegan Barbacoa
Now you may be wondering, “what is barbacoa?”
Barbacoa is a Mexican cooking method that involves slow cooking shredded meats in a sea of spices. In fact, barbacoa is the origin of the term “barbecue.”
And although barbacoa typically involves meats like beef and lamb, this vegan version packs just as much flavour. Our recipe features chili, garlic powder, cumin, oregano leaves, chipotle chili pepper, and black pepper plus all your favourite veggies: juicy Portobello mushrooms, eggplant, tomatoes and onions.
3. Tofu Butternut Squash and Brussels Sprout Skewers
Get Asian BBQ on demand with these soy sauce, tamarind, and chile-flavoured vegetable skewers. Add in ground ginger and sesame seeds flavour. Then, cut up tofu, Brussels sprouts, and butternut squash for unforgettably delicious grilled vegetable skewers.
4. Grilled Fruit Salsa with Lime Tequila and Smoked Paprika
Need something a little sweet to complement all the heat? This grilled fruit salsa is the perfect solution. While you can make this salsa with a variety of fruits, we recommend chopping up ripe, juicy mangoes.
Smoked paprika adds in a layer of smokiness that accentuates the sweetness of the agave nectar and pineapples.
Throw in some red bell pepper and onion for a bit of crunch and a cap full of tequila and lime juice to spike up the flavour. Your guests will keep coming back for more!
5. Grilled Potato Kabobs
All you need is a few shakes of LaGrille® Barbecue Chicken Seasoning and a few pounds of hearty, unpeeled Yukon Gold potatoes for this easy potato kabob recipe.
Simple and quick, serve these smoky yet sweet crispy potatoes as a vegan side dish.
