35 Vegan BBQ Recipes
Vegan Friendly recipes perfect for a Summer BBQ, from Burgers, to Sauces, to Sides, I’ve got you covered!
Being from ‘Murica, I’ve spent the better part of my life enjoying BBQs during the Summer months. And heck, I used to BBQ in the winter months too since it’s warm enough in LA then!
Going vegan didn’t mean I had to miss out on this tradition, just had to make a few tweaks!
Vegan Burger Recipes
Naturally, I’ve got a whole lot of BURGER RECIPES, but here’s a few of my favorites!
In-N-Out Burgers
So this one takes a little prep, but I can speak from personal experience, these Vegan Double Doubles are a crowd pleaser! Just make the sauce and onions ahead of time, prep the lettuce and tomato before you grill, and you’ll knock everybody’s socks off!
Vegan McRib
The McRib is one of my favorite things to cook on the BBQ! I’ve got two recipes for it, you can either make it with something like Impossible or Beyond Meat, or you can make a Jackfruit Seitan McRib!
French Onion Burger
All the flavor of French Onion Soup but in burger form! Much easier if you make my Freezer Friendly Caramelized Onions too!
Shawarma Spiced Burger
This Shawarma Burger packs all the flavor of Shawarma in Burger Form! Also great with some Toum and Pickled Onions!
Vegan Burger Buns
I know it’s easy to just grab some buns at the store, but if you have the time and energy, making homemade Burger Buns is totally worth it!
And yes, you can make these into Hot Dog Buns too!
homemade burger patties
While I do prefer something like Impossible or Beyond Meat on the grill, if you want to make some Scratch Patties using TVP, I got you! I would make these thicker for the BBQ grill, but they should work out fine!
Burger Sauce
Finding some store bought Vegan Burger Sauce is a bit of a challenge. Luckily it’s fairly easy to make and a total crowd pleaser too!
I’ve also got a few videos that go over BBQ Tips and Burger Construction Theory if that floats your boat!

Vegan Grillables
Here’s a few things you can grill (or pan fry indoor of course)
Tofu Souvlaki
All the flavor of traditional Souvlaki but with Tofu! This is one of my new favorites, and it can be done with or without skewers and indoors or outdoors too!
Grilled Tofu “Chicken“
This Grilled Tofu “Chicken” is one of my more popular recipes, and it does great on the BBQ too! You can eat them whole, or chop ’em up and cover them in some BBQ Sauce! Throw ’em on some Buns or a tortilla!
Classic BBQ Sauce
Of course buying some Vegan BBQ Sauce at the store is no problem, but I highly suggest making your own! It’s so much better and you can tailor it to your tastes!
Oyster Mushroom Skewers
I just made these Oyster Mushroom Skewers recently and they are one of my new favorites! Perfect of the skewer or in a sandwich!
chimichurri
No BBQ is complete without some Chimichurri in my opinion! This stuff can go on just about anything! Especially good with mushrooms and grilled tofu!
Carne Asada (Seitan)
Carne Asada was one of my favorite things to eat and GRILL before going Vegan, so this Seitan Version is perfect for BBQ season!
Tofu Salmon
Super Savory Vegan Salmon made with tofu and seasoned with umami-packed ingredients and stuff from the sea! Perfectly flaky and delicious!
Vegan Sandwiches
I like making this stuff during Summer, and it’s great to bring some to a BBQ, especially if you don’t wanna bother with the grill!

This Vegan Chicken Salad is the perfect thing to bring if you’re going to a non-vegan BBQ and don’t want to deal with the grill situation. Just throw this on a bun and you’re good to go! And it’s great as a side too!

Whether you put it on a Salad or in a Wrap, this Vegan Chicken Caesar is just as ZIP ZAPPING Delicious as the traditional version!

This are the BEST Vegan Tuna Salad I’ve ever had! They’re loaded with UMAMI packed ingredients and perfect as subs or melts! Great for a BBQ too!

Keeping in the pickle theme, we’ve also got a delicious Potato Salad that’s amped up with some dill pickles!
Macaroni salad
A classic Macaroni Salad is mandatory at any legit BBQ in my opinion and this one will do just fine!
Hawaiian style macaroni Salad
If you want something a little different (and better in my recent opinion) than a Classic Mac Salad, try some Hawaiian Style! A bit more decadent and rich, with some good sweet and sour flavor going on!
Orzo Pasta Salad
This is probably my wife’s favorite thing I’ve made in a long time and she’s a smart lady, so you can trust that this is super dang good!
