Are you a dedicated vegan or vegetarian? Perhaps you’re just someone who is looking to cut down on your meat consumption. Whatever the case, giving up meat doesn’t have to equate to giving up flavour. In fact, there are hundreds upon hundreds of mouthwatering vegan dishes that you can whip up on a BBQ grill such as a Pit Boss vs Traeger to impress friends and family at your next vegan-friendly family cookout. If you’re ready to wow even the biggest of critics, here are 6 terrific crowd-pleasing vegan mains that are guaranteed to be an absolute hit. 

1. Vegan Cauliflower Wings 

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium head of Cauliflower
  • (all-purpose gluten-free flour or regular all-purpose flour)
  • 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened Soy or Almond Milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon Sea Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground Black Pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 cup Panko Breadcrumbs 
  • 1 1/2 cups Vegan BBQ Sauce 

Method:

  1. Prepare a grill for medium direct heat. Meanwhile, remove florets from the cauliflower and chop them into smaller pieces to resemble the size of the wings.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, cornstarch, soy milk, sea salt, ground black pepper and garlic powder in a bowl to make the batter. If the batter is too thick, thin out with some more milk and vice versa. 
  3. In a separate bowl, place the breadcrumbs. Line it up beside the batter bowl.
  4. Toss the cauliflower in the batter mixture (you can add them all at once), using a spatula or spoon to coat them all. 
  5. Transfer them to the breadcrumbs to coat completely, then place onto your preheated grill, giving each wing enough space. Repeat until all of the wings are coated.
  6. Grill for 15 minutes, flipping each cauliflower wing over half way through the cooking process. 
  7. While grilling, heat BBQ sauce up in a pot over the stove. Once wings are ready, toss in the sauce and place back on the grill. 
  8. Grill for another 5 minutes for the sauce to soak into the wings.
  9. Remove from oven and enjoy!

2. Falafel Burgers

Ingredients:

  • 400g can of Chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1 small Red Onion, roughly chopped
  • 1 Garlic clove, chopped
  • handful of flat-leaf Parsley
  • 1 tsp ground Cumin
  • 1 tsp ground Coriander
  • ½ tsp Harissa Paste 
  • 2 tbsp Plain Flour
  • 2 tbsp Oil
  • Hummus or Vegan Mayonnaise, to serve
  • Slider Buns, to serve
  • Sliced Tomato, to serve
  • Green Salad, to serve

Method:

  1. Drain the chickpeas, rinse them thoroughly and then pat dry with a kitchen towel. 
  2. Tip chickpeas into a food processor along with the onion, garlic, parsley, cumin, coriander, harissa paste, flour and a little salt. 
  3. Blend until fairly smooth, then shape into four patties with your hands.
  4. Preheat your grill and oil liberally with vegetable oil. 
  5. Grill burgers for 3 mins on each side until lightly golden. 
  6. Serve on a burger bun and garnish with hummus or vegan mayonnaise, sliced tomato and lettuce. 

3. Rainbow Veggie Skewers

Ingredients:

Rainbow Skewers:

  • 4 Red Onion
  • 4 Zucchini, sliced
  • 2 Red Capsicum

Garlic Herb Sauce:

  • ⅓ cup Olive Oil
  • 5 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoon fresh Parsley, minced

Method:

  1. Soak 8-12 wooden skewers in water for at least 20 minutes. In the meantime, prepare the vegetables for the skewers. 
  2. Peel each red onion then slice in half. Chop each half into thirds, as if you were cutting a pizza (6 total pieces from one onion). 
  3. Seed and chop each capcisum into approximately 1-inch by 1-inch pieces. Finally, chop the zucchini into rounds.
  4. Prepare the Garlic Herb Sauce by whisking together the olive oil, minced garlic, parsley, coriander, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
  5. Skewer the vegetables by alternating between red onion, zucchini, and the different colored capsicum pieces. Brush skewers with a light layer of olive oil.
  6. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Once the grill is hot, add skewers and grill for approximately 5-8 minutes per side, or until vegetables are just softening and browning around the edges.
  7. Remove from heat, brush with garlic herb sauce and drizzle with balsamic vinaigrette, if desired.

  • 1 tablespoon Cajun Spice powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt

Method: 

  1. Drain the package of tofu and wrap the tofu block around a layer of paper towels. Press the tofu by placing it between 2 large plates. Weigh down the top plate with something heavy and allow tofu to press for 15 to 20 minutes.
  2. Slice the tofu into 6 slices. In a medium bowl, mix 1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil, soy sauce, agave nectar, cajun spice powder, garlic powder and salt. 
  3. Rub the tofu with the marinade and allow to sit for 15 minutes (or even overnight). 
  4. Heat a grill to medium-high heat. 
  5. Drizzle about 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil over the grill and arrange tofu slices diagonally, along the grill.

  7. Serve the grilled tofu with grilled vegetables and other sides. 
  8.  Heat up any remaining marinade in a saucepan and drizzle the sauce over the grilled tofu for more flavour.
