I’ve compiled a list of 40 plant-based vegan bbq recipes from some of my favorite bloggers. If you’re new to eating a plant-based diet, this list can kickstart your introduction to the variety of healthy plant-based meals you can eat, even during summer gatherings!
Included are ideas for vegan bbq main dishes, side dishes, condiments, and dessert, all of which are great for a small home gathering or even a big summer bbq potluck. Plus, you won’t have to announce any of these as “vegan” at your summertime gatherings. Why? Because nobody will notice. They’ll be too busy scarfing em’ down!
Vegan BBQ Main Dishes
Let’s start with the “meat” of a summer bbq. But just because you’ve given up meat doesn’t mean you’ll be missing out. There’s a favorite for everyone, from vegan burger options to ribs and slopping joes.
