A frequent replacement for meat at veggie barbecues is the grilled portabello mushroom. We’ve got different ideas when it comes to burger replacement, but that’s no reason that mushrooms shouldn’t be invited to the party as well! Try our very favorite grilled shiitake mushrooms (being sure to leave out the anchovy fillets — you can sub a bit of vegan Worcestershire — to make them truly vegetarian). With herbs like thyme and marjoram as well as a decent drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice, these mushrooms will be a crowd-pleaser for sure.
Make the main course a gourmet treat: these eggplant, halloumi and pesto burgers are to die for! The eggplant is seasoned with a bit of balsamic and grilled alongside the halloumi before being assembled in a delicious sandwich. You’ll probably have to make some for the meat-eating crowd too!
And don’t forget about dessert! What’s more traditional for a cookout than homemade s’mores? Vegan marshmallows are just the thing to make these all-natural, homemade recipe for everyone’s favorite campfire treat the perfect way to end any barbecue this summer.
