Vegan Black Bean Balls with Vegetable Tzatziki: Easy BBQ Recipe

Struggling to grill vegetables? No problem—supermarket shelves offer plenty of ready-made sausages, burgers, and balls. But as any home cook knows, homemade always tastes better.

Our black bean balls with creamy vegetable tzatziki are a game-changer. Thread them on skewers for the perfect plant-based barbecue.

Ingredients for the Black Bean Balls

• 400 grams black beans
• 200 grams oat flour
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 large onion
• 1 handful fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• salt and pepper

Ingredients for the Vegetable Tzatziki

• 1/2 cucumber, grated
• 250 ml plant-based yogurt (e.g., soy)
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 garlic clove
• salt and pepper

Preparation Method

1. Combine all black bean ball ingredients in a food processor and blend until mostly smooth, leaving some texture for bite. It should hold together—if too dry, add olive oil; if too wet, add oat flour.
2. Roll into balls.
3. Pan-fry in olive oil for 1-2 minutes per side. Refrigerate until barbecue time.
4. Skewer the balls and grill 2 minutes per side.
5. Mix tzatziki ingredients. Serve alongside the warm black bean balls.
