10 Vegetarian BBQ Dishes Even Meat Eaters Love

‘Tis the season for yummy backyard barbecues and sun-soaked family meals. If you are a vegetarian, you may sometimes feel like the odd one out. But the grill isn’t just for burgers and sirloins! The best part of summer, aside from the sunshine, are the amazing dishes we make straight from the garden. Here are some amazing vegetarian BBQ dishes.

1. Mexican Street Corn

You could go for the classic corn on the cob with butter and salt, or you can try this yummy Mexican street corn recipe. With some cilantro, chili powder and sour cream. This reinvented grilled corn will be a real crowd-pleaser.

2. Grilled Fajita Skewers

This dish is incredibly easy and delicious. Mix and match however you want with this fajita skewer. Throw on some mushrooms, onions, peppers and even some zucchini. Create a spicy chipotle sauce for the side and it is ready to serve.

3. Grilled Potato Pockets

As far as vegetarian BBQ dishes go, this grill recipe is a classic and goes with every imaginable summertime dinner. In a pocket of foil, place your diced red potatoes and add some butter or oil, Italian seasoning or maybe something spicy. You can even add some onions or green beans to steam with the potatoes and a little garlic for taste.

6. Grilled Mini Pizza

Grilled pizzas are always so delicious and are super fun to make because, honestly, there really is no wrong way to make a pizza. For your next outdoor barbecue, give each person their own flatbread so they can design their own pizza. For those vegetarians out there, you can load it with peppers, olives, tomatoes, anything your heart desires. That way the meat lovers can be happy while the veg-heads have their veggie pizza to enjoy.

7. Grilled Eggplant

For your next vegetarian recipe experiment, make your own little decorated eggplant. On one slice, you can throw some cheese, corn and black beans. For a different slice, put some marinara sauce and mozzarella with a little basil. Mix and match or make your own!
