Vegan Barbecue: Recipes for Grilled Vegetables & Proteins

Posted By Nava On June 30, 2010 @ 4:01 am In Healthy Kitchen,Holidays and special occasions | 4 Comments

^[1]Here are easy, tasty vegan barbecue recipes (great for any vegetarian, too) for grilling vegetables, tofu, tempeh and seitan. Create your own BBQ fireworks with alternative protein foods and vegetables that take on an entirely new taste dimension on the grill. Grilling is more art than science. It may take a few rounds to get the knack of working with whatever grilling equipment you have, be it a fancy gas-powered unit or a simple barbecue pit in the ground. Remember, though, that expensive equipment is not necessary to create a tasty outdoor meal.

It’s more a matter of learning about the coals and woods befitting your particular grill, how to light them easily, and how long to let the hot coals die down in your unit before putting on the food. Generally, it takes 30 to 45 minutes for hot coals to reach the right temperature for grilling foods. The following barbecue recipes are fairly easy and straightforward. They’re perfect starters for vegetarians who have traditionally avoided outdoor grilling. Once you try some of the recipes here, you’ll be eager to experiment with your own vegan BBQ ideas.
