Here are 22 Vegan BBQ Recipes for you to try this summer. Even vegans like to barbecue!  It almost sounds like an oxymoron doesn’t it?  When I think of a barbecue I think of hamburgers, hot dogs, ribs etc.  A literal meat fest with nigh a vegetable in sight.  Aside from some sugary coleslaw and roasted corn with butter.

Every summer I always eat before I go to a BBQ.  There really aren’t a lot of options for vegans at a BBQ.  So I thought, why not have a vegan BBQ recipe round up?  I mean everyone loves BBQ sauce.  So why not a vegan BBQ sauce recipe?  Most grilled vegetables are over cooked, burned or greasy.  Hardly fodder for any plant based, vegan or person on a healing diet.

With Memorial Day just a few weeks away.  And with restaurants still closed due to COVID-19 most of us will be dining at home.

So I wanted to share these vegan BBQ recipes to inspire you to fall in love with barbecuing again.  I’m grateful to the bloggers who shared their work with me so that I could put this vegan recipe round up together for you.

Is BBQ Healthy

Clients always ask me “Is BBQ healthy?”  There is absolutely no reason why a BBQ shouldn’t be healthy.  It’s just a matter of what you serve.  I hope you’ll find some inspiration here…  I hope you enjoy these vegan barbecue recipes.

Is BBQ Sauce Vegan?

Is BBQ sauce vegan?  Well it depends on the recipe.  Believe it or not most of them are.  They just happen to be loaded onto non-vegan recipes.  These vegan BBQ sauce recipes are on the healthier side because they exclude soy.  Soy is a mucus forming food.
