Vegetarian BBQ Cookout Menu Ideas

Planning a vegetarian barbecue and looking for menu ideas? It will be my pleasure to give you some delicious menu ideas on how to make a vegetarian barbecue. This article is aimed at curious vegetarians, aspiring vegetarians, and full-fledged vegans and vegetarians who just want to enjoy a simple barbecue with family members. If you’re hosting a barbecue, don’t even mention that you’re a vegetarian. Cook up some of these delicious options and everyone will be so pleased and full they won’t even know what hit them. If you’re going to a barbecue somewhere else, call your host to mention that you’re a vegetarian and that you’ll be bringing your own veggie burger or chicken or anything else you’d like to bring. This will make your host aware of your vegetarianism and will respect that you thought of bringing your own so as not to worry the host. To a carnivore, a vegetarian is often a very mysterious creature. Make it easy and enjoyable for everyone and everyone will be happy.

Menu ideas for a vegetarian barbecue

Portobello Mushroom Burgers – When grilled with a mixture of oil and spices or with a flavoring like barbecue sauce or balsamic vinegar, Portobello mushrooms make great burgers and sandwiches. Grill large mushrooms that have been brushed with oil or sauce for about 5 minutes on each side. Use a Panini or Ciabatta bread with mayonnaise or nayonnaise, lettuce, cheese, tomatoes and sprouts. Often called the steak of veggie burgers, this one is sure to please. (As long as your guests enjoy the mushrooms.)

Tofu and Vegetable Skewers – This is a colorful and vibrant meal that will please most guests. String some mini tomatoes, mushrooms, red onions, zucchini, and orange bell pepper along with cubes of marinated tofu and you’ll be making art through your barbecue. Vary selections to please different guests. Maybe Linda doesn’t like mushrooms and Melody doesn’t like zucchini, so personalized skewers can be the perfect solution for picky eaters and varied tastes.

vegetarian chicken: Not sure if everyone knows about this product? Vegetarian chicken is delicious! I know some extreme vegetarians say that all simulated meats are processed and therefore unhealthy or that they don’t want to eat something that tastes like the real thing. improved by swapping the simulated meats for the real stuff. Vegetarian chicken has 24g protein, 5% fat, and a host of vitamins, including 35% vitamin B12, 60% iron, and just 1g sugar. Clearly a winning choice! Lather your chicken with barbecue sauce or spices for even more enjoyment.

Veggie Burgers and Hot Dogs: These are the quintessential barbecue foods and vegetarians shouldn’t be left out. When you consider what’s in real hot dogs, eating vegetarian hot dogs is a much smarter and healthier choice. Veggie burgers are very popular and are available in the vast majority of supermarkets in North and South America and probably in the rest of the world (although I haven’t been around the world to check it out yet haha!). a lot of carnivores, a vegetarian’s best defense is these 2 staples. Veggie burgers and hotdogs will get you out of many awkward situations and will go almost unnoticed by other diners.
