Vegan Barbecue can be easy if you have the right tools at hand. I think there is hardly a topic that is more cliché than that of the Barbecue . Most associate it with grilled meats, Bread and a handful of side dishes Salads . The supermarkets pave the way for the quick grilling pleasure and offer ready marinated steaks for a small price. Currently, much comes to the surface about the “pigs” in the meat industry and many people want to get away from cheap meat. I’m sure I don’t have to explain that to you as a reader of this blog. If only because you are reading these lines, I know you are dealing with the issue. Basically I am the positive writer and try to highlight unpleasant topics only rarely and on the sidelines. Positive vibes, that’s my motto . However, there are phases and topics where I can’t look away anymore and that’s why I’m writing this article right now. I will dedicate it to all people who are open to change and who want to try vegan , animal-free grilling would like to try. I hope I can give you a few tips and tricks and especially wonderful dishes to hand, for a successful culinary evening alone, with friends or family.
At Barbecue is all about the preparation. It can get hectic when guests are arriving and you want to whip up a full barbecue menu. This includes grilled, side dishes, snacks and a refreshing dessert. All recipes , which I present in this post, are perfect to prepare. You can prepare a lot the night before and store it in the fridge, or a few hours before the big bash.
TIP: In the July issue of “ACTIVE BEAUTY” – the online magazine of DM Austria – you will find an interview with me on the subject of grilling. Just click here to go directly to the online issue (page 28/29).
Ideas for vegan barbecue – here you go
At the moment I very often see vegan substitutes on the
Grill
and we had a mixed vegan barbecue platter from a large discount store on our plate just yesterday. I’ll put it this way, it’s better. That’s why I want to save you the long search for good products and have created a short and crisp list of the best “grillable” substitutes. I have not judged these products on their health value or their life cycle assessment. The only thing that matters here is taste. Note: Tastes are different, so it may well be that you call my favorite sausage rather “naja”.
Here are my TOP5 grill substitutes when things need to go fast.
- Beyond Meat Burger , extremely good grillable, tasty top and super texture *seen at Metro & Aldi
- Taifun Grill Veggie-Bratwurst and Röstbräterle, for me the best sausages for grilling, besides organic and a top sustainable company *seen at Alnatura
- Taifun Feto-Pruducts for all who want vegan “sheep cheese” from the grill *seen at Alnatura
- Peace Burger from Vosko based on pea protein, supr tasty and good grillable *seen at REWE
- Alberts lupine vevapcici and roasted sausages *seen at Alnatura
There are certainly some great products that I have never tried. Do you have any other tips for ready-made meat substitutes for the Grill ? I look forward to your comments at the bottom.

VEGAN GRILLING GENERAL TIPS & TRICKS
Finally, I’d like to give you a few more tips & tricks to help you cut a great figure at plant-based BBQ.
- no matter what vegetables you grill, they will always develop a more intense flavor . The reason for this is that water evaporates and the naturally contained sugars are caramelized.
- Vegetables are naturally low in fat, so they can dry out more easily on the grill. I always keep a small bowl of oil and a silicone brush next to the grill. This way I can re-oil while grilling.
- Incidentally, the oil also ensures that the heat in the vegetables is better conducted and they are grilled faster and more intensively. Like to use a high heat oil with a high smoke point. This includes all frying and baking oils, the so-called “high oleic” variants. Please rather avoid cold pressed oils, because the unsaturated fatty acids oxidize quickly and even toxic by-products can be formed.
I hope very much that you like one or the other Recipe like and wish you in advance a successful barbecue fun.
