Summer barbecues are a beloved tradition, especially under the Dutch sun, where friends and family gather in gardens or outdoor kitchens for flavorful feasts. Going vegan doesn't mean missing out—our years of grilling experience show you can create mouthwatering dishes without meat or fish.
Shopping for Your Vegan Barbecue
A vegan barbecue thrives on fresh, healthy ingredients. Virtually all vegetables work wonderfully, paired with tofu, seitan, and tempeh for protein-packed variety.
Flavor-Packing Vegetables
For milder veggies, a custom marinade elevates flavor and texture. Start with a quality oil base, then add vinegar—apple cider for sweetness, or red wine or balsamic for depth. Mix in finely chopped herbs like rosemary, dill, or oregano. Brush generously before grilling for that irresistible crispy crust.
Serve with classic sauces like barbecue or a zesty green pepper version to add spice, just as you would with meat.
Benefits of Vegan Barbecuing
From our expertise in plant-based cooking, vegan barbecues deliver proteins, vitamins, iron, calcium, and minerals abundant in vegetables. These light, quick recipes leave you energized—converting even skeptics to the vegan side.
