The best vegan BBQ recipes
From bean burgers to smoky, harissa aubergine, here are our favourite vegan-friendly BBQ recipes for everyone to enjoy.
Forget beef burgers and chicken skewers, if you're vegan, there's plenty for you to enjoy, too. In fact, being a vegan has never been so exciting, and we promise there isn't a frozen soy-burger in sight (unless that's your thing).
Instead we've got some gorgeous vegan options from tasty harissa aubergine scattered with pomegranate, to sticky tofu and pineapple skewers. And if you're dying for a burger, you can't go wrong with our chickpea and sweet potato version.
If you can't be bothered to make anything from scratch, take a look at our top scoring meat-free sausages and meat-free burgers, tried and tested by our experts at the Good Housekeeping Institute.
Mexican Corn
We've brushed corn on the cob with mayonnaise to give it a caramelised finish. Use vegan mayonnaise to make it vegan-friendly!

Sticky Tofu and Pineapple Skewers
A flavour-packed treat for vegans, tofu can take lots of flavour so these skewers are glazed in a spicy, tangy, sticky glaze full of Asian flavours.
Watermelon & Smokey Chickpea Salad
Smoked paprika gives this refreshing salad a lovely gentle heat against the refreshing watermelon.
Vegan teriyaki mushrooms
A vegan treat for the barbecue that works well as a main course or a side dish.

Jerk tofu traybake
Mellow tofu is a blank canvas for flavours, ready to absorb this fiery jerk marinade. We like the extra-firm tofu variety, which doesn’t need the messy and time consuming pressing other varieties often call for.

Hasselback Squash
Hasselback vegetables is a fun way to add texture to a dish, and all the cuts mean you can really marinate and stuff with herbs and oils for added flavour.
