Grilled Veggie Skewers

One of the simplest yet most satisfying vegetarian BBQ dishes is grilled veggie skewers. The beauty of this dish lies in its versatility – you can use virtually any combination of vegetables you like. Bell peppers, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, onions, and eggplant are all excellent choices. Simply chop the vegetables into bite-sized pieces, thread them onto skewers, brush with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and grill until tender and slightly charred. For added flavor, you can marinate the veggies beforehand in a mixture of balsamic vinegar, garlic, and herbs.

Portobello Mushroom Burgers

Who needs beef when you can sink your teeth into a hearty Portobello mushroom burger? These meaty mushrooms are the perfect stand-in for traditional burgers, offering a rich, savory flavor and a satisfyingly chewy texture. To make Portobello mushroom burgers, simply marinate the mushrooms in a mixture of soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, garlic, and olive oil, then grill until tender. Serve on a toasted bun with all your favorite toppings – lettuce, tomato, onion, avocado, and cheese – for a burger that’s sure to impress even the most die-hard carnivores.

Grilled Halloumi Cheese

If you’ve never tried grilling cheese before, you’re in for a treat! Halloumi cheese is a semi-hard cheese that holds its shape well when grilled, developing a deliciously crispy exterior and a gooey, melt-in-your-mouth interior. To grill halloumi cheese, simply slice it into thick pieces, brush with olive oil, and grill until golden brown on both sides. Serve as a standalone appetizer or add to salads, sandwiches, or wraps for an extra indulgent twist.

BBQ Tofu

Tofu may not sound like the most exciting BBQ option, but when properly prepared, it can be downright delicious. To make BBQ tofu, start by pressing a block of extra-firm tofu to remove excess moisture, then slice it into thick slabs. Brush the tofu with your favorite BBQ sauce, then grill until caramelized and slightly charred, flipping halfway through. The result is a smoky, flavorful tofu that pairs perfectly with grilled vegetables, salads, or sandwiches.

Stuffed Bell Peppers

Stuffed bell peppers are a classic vegetarian dish that’s perfect for the grill. Simply hollow out bell peppers and stuff them with a mixture of cooked rice, beans, corn, diced vegetables, and cheese. Place the stuffed peppers on the grill and cook until the peppers are tender and the filling is heated through. For an extra kick of flavor, top the stuffed peppers with salsa, guacamole, or sour cream before serving.

Grilled Fruit Dessert

No BBQ is complete without a sweet treat to end the meal, and grilled fruit is the perfect way to satisfy your sweet tooth. Pineapple, peaches, watermelon, and bananas are all excellent choices for grilling, as the heat caramelizes their natural sugars, intensifying their sweetness and creating a tantalizing smoky flavor. Simply slice the fruit into thick wedges or rounds, brush with a bit of honey or maple syrup, and grill until lightly charred and caramelized. Serve as is or top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert that’s sure to impress.
