Grilled Veggie Skewers
Cut your favorite veggies, like zucchini, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, and red onions, and thread them onto skewers.
Brush them with a mixture of olive oil, garlic, and herbs, then grill veggie kabobs until they're tender and slightly charred.

Grilled Portobello Burgers
Portobello mushrooms are a delicious meatless option for beef burgers. And I know that the "mushroom" part might make you think there is no way anyone would even like a mushroom burger.
But believe me, they really indeed are delicious! (and so are these vegan burgers that are good for grilling too!)
And a Portobello burger does not taste like a mushroom at all! They're meaty, flavorful, and packed with nutrition.
And they are more simple to make than you might think.
Simply marinate portobello caps in a mixture of balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, and herbs for at least 30 minutes.
Then grill them until they're tender and slightly charred. Serve them on buns with your favorite toppings, like avocado, pickles, lettuce, onion, tomato, and vegan mayo, and one of your favorite vegan sides for burgers like salad or vegan mac and cheese.

Grilled Tofu Steaks
So grilling tofu on the grill may not be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about a meatless BBQ menu for your cookout.
But if you haven't tried it yet, you might want to try it!
It's a great source of plant-based protein and tofu is perfect for grilling (surprisingly enough.)
Before grilling, marinate tofu in a soy sauce, ginger, and garlic mix (or any other marinade recipe you prefer)
Not only does it taste delicious, but grilled tofu is also packed with protein and makes a healthy vegan bbq recipe everyone will want to try.

BBQ Jackfruit Sandwiches
When it comes to meatless BBQ options, Jackfruit is a shredded meatless substitute that grills well and is a tasty recipe for your vegan barbeque! Simply marinate the canned Jackfruit in a savory BBQ marinade, then grill it until it is crispy and caramelized.
Add coleslaw on the side (what better bbq side dish is there than coleslaw??) and add pickles and whatever other toppings you like (onions, tomatoes...whatever you love)
