    12 Creative and Crowd-Pleasing Vegan Grilling Recipes

    Think the grill is just for meat? Think again! These creative vegan grilling recipes prove that barbecues can be just as fun for those on a plant based diet, and every course can be cooked up on the grill.

    12 Creative and Crowd-Pleasing Vegan Grilling Recipes

    If you’ve been following along you probably know that grilling, as in, outdoor, big barbecue, open flame grilling, is a new thing for me, and I love it!

    For a while I shied away from grilling, thinking the barbecue grill was for meat. So not true. These 12 delicious recipes prove that with a little creativity the barbecue grill can make tasty, smoky, meatless dishes that will be a hit with vegans and non-vegans alike!

    Tempeh Barbecue Ribs

    A entire block of temeph is braised with smoky seasonings, pan-fried to a crisp, then grilled with sweet and tangy barbecue sauce to make these vegan ribs.

    Loaded Avocado Quesadillas

    Assemble these avocado-based quesadillas ahead of time, and then grill them right before serving. Nobody will miss the cheese!

    Mediterranean Tofu Kebabs

    How do you make tofu delicious? Soak in a zippy Mediterranean-inspired marinade and then grill it to perfection with summer veggies to make these scrumptious kebabs.

    Whiskey Peppercorn Portobello Steaks

    Juicy portobello mushrooms are generally a hit with vegans, vegetarians and omnivores a like. Take the flavor of your shrooms to the next level by grilling them and smothering them in creamy dairy-free whiskey peppercorn sauce.

    Marinated Tofu Franks

    Tofu marinated in smoky sauce makes for a delicious and protein-packed homemade vegan hot dog!

    Fajitas

    The veggies in these very untraditional fajitas get cooked up on the grill, and then drizzled in a mouth-watering cashew jalapeño sauce.

    Teriyaki Seitan Kebabs

    It's all about the sweet and savory marinade with these "meaty" vegan kebabs!

    Whiskey Tofu Sandwiches

    Homemade whiskey-spiked barbecue sauce makes these grilled tofu sammies extra flavorful.

    Chickpeas take the place of meat to make these spiced Turkish-inspired kebabs. Eat them straight from the skewer or stuff in warm pita bread!

    Stuffed Portobello Puttanesca Burgers

    Unfortunately, most veggie burgers just don't hold up on the grill. But fortunately, there's a work around: stuff your burger base into a portobello cap, making for a doubly delicious vegan burger!

    Garlic & Dill Cauliflower Steaks

    Okay, so it's not like you're going to fool anyone into thinking they're eating steak with these. But these seasoned cauliflower slabs totally hold their own as a delicious meat-free main course.

    Portobello Mushroom Hot Dogs

    If tofu isn't your jam, try marinating portobello mushroom strips in smoky marinade and then throwing them on the grill. They're awesome on a hot dog bun!
