Enjoy a Vegetarian Barbecue
When I am the host of the family barbecue, I refuse to cook meat, but I make sure that I provide a wide variety of foods that even the die-hard carnivores will enjoy.
I also try to bring interesting vegetarian dishes when I am invited to barbecues hosted by carnivores, to make sure that everyone has something fun to eat.
I created this lens to help other people that are in similar situations, as well as people who just want to provide healthier choices at their family BBQ.
Whether you are a vegetarian, vegan, or you want to make sure your family BBQ is vegetarian friendly, I hope this lens provides helpful information to you.

Amazing Vegetarian Hot Dogs
Worthington Veja-Links, 19-Ounce Cans (Pack of 12)
Veja Links from Worthington are one of the best Vegetarian Hot Dogs ever made. The kids love them, they are good enough to fool carnivores, and they have a great taste and texture. These are a great option for anyone who wants to try a healthier alternative to beef hot dogs. Unfortunately, these are very hard to find outside California, but we happily purchase them by the case from Amazon.
Vegetarian BBQ Recipes
some of my favorite recipes to serve at the family bbq
- Easy Macaroni Salad
- This is a super easy macaroni salad for vegetarians that eat eggs and dairy products. The vegan version uses a few simple substitutions for a yummy bbq treat.
- Easy Pasta Salad
- This is one of the easiest recipes to take to a family bbq.
- Macaroni and Cheese
- Mac and Cheese is a traditional casserole for family parties and it's super easy and economical to prepare as a vegetarian or vegan dish.
Yummy Vegetarian Burgers
Worthington Vegetarian Burger, Low Fat, 20-Ounce Cans (Pack of 12)
This is my all-time favorite vegetarian burger. This is fantastic for creating burgers for the grill, veggie meatloaf, veggie tacos, and any recipe that calls for ground meat or veggie crumbles. We are so happy that we can buy Burger by the case from Amazon because they are impossible to find in our area.
Vegetarian BBQ Links
- Bush Brothers Vegetarian Baked Beans
- These are pretty amazing tasting, straight from the can. They don't need any doctoring, the carnivores love them, and they are healthier than traditional baked beans made with pork.
- Morningstar Farms Grillers Vegan
- These are my favorite Morningstar Farms burgers. They are super simple to prepare and have a great grilled taste that everyone loves. These are perfect to bring to any bbq.
- Boca Burgers
- Boca carries a nice selection of both vegetarian and vegan burgers. Several restaurants in our area carry the Boca Vegan burgers and they are fantastic. I love serving these at our vegetarian barbecues.
- Morningstar Farms® Hickory BBQ Riblets
- These are amazing and a perfect addition to any vegetarian BBQ menu. Morningstar Farms Riblets are 100% Vegan and are easy to find at most local grocery stores. They are super easy to prepare and come with loads of tasty sweet and smoky bbq sauce. They are only 220 calories, too!
Amy's Organic Vegetarian Baked Beans
Amy's Organic Vegetarian Baked Beans, 15-Ounce Cans (Pack of 12)
These are 100% Vegan and fantastic! These baked beans are also organic, gluten free, full of fiber, and super tasty!

- I have tried several of the items on this page, and enjoy them. Are the Veja Links vegan, or just vegetarian? (We have a family member who's very allergic to dairy, so we have to be especially careful.)

- We love our own BBQs but it's very difficult for a veggie to go to other BBQs. The smells and the indiscriminate use of utensils etc. make life virtually impossible - great lens.

- Yes, grills can be positively nasty, if they are not cleaned well and have meat grease on them. I should discuss that. When attending omnivore's parties, I like to bring a veg dish that does not use the grill if I have doubts about the grill or utensils. If the host is a close friend or relative, I may prepare my own food there, using a portable grill or cook the veg dishes before the meat, etc. I agree it's very challenging.
