Standard grilled vegetable skewers grow old pretty quick. That’s why we’ve developed five creative, crowd-pleasing vegan versions worthy of any backyard BBQ. We promise they’ll satisfy even the most discerning palates.
Candied Maple Balsamic Brussels Sprout Skewers with Red Onion
Brussels sprouts aren’t your typical BBQ fare, but you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how incredibly flavourful and gorgeous they are. Think of them as vegetable lollipops that have been caramelized in sweet maple and balsamic. You can also feel good knowing that you’re eating one of the most nutritious veggies out there. Cue the cravings!
Tofu Peanut Satay and Cucumber Skewers Topped with Toasty Peanuts and Fresh Mint
Peanuts, tofu and coconut are a classic combination, and when paired with crisp cucumber ribbons and fresh mint, you get an unbelievably refreshing summertime dish. The satay sauce is creamy, sweet, zesty and salty – we recommend generously drizzling it all over your skewers.
Coconut Crusted Tempeh Skewers with Mango Salsa
Tempeh is often a mysterious ingredient, and many people aren’t quite sure how to cook it. This is the perfect recipe if you’re new to the tempeh game – or if you’ve been eating it for years. The coconut provides a nice crisp coating and the mango salsa adds a refreshing, sweet and zesty component.
Sticky Cauliflower “Wing” Skewers with Sesame Seeds
This is a really creative and delicious way to eat more cauliflower: a versatile and superfood vegetable that’s rich in antioxidants. Although there’s a bit of prep work before these skewers hit the grill, the sticky, sweet and spicy result is worth every minute. While we offer a simple BBQ sauce recipe, you can always swap for store-bought.
Pineapple, Banana, Strawberry Skewers with Salted Chocolate Drizzle
Grilled fruit is the perfect summertime dessert. We love the combination of caramelized bananas, jam-like strawberries and sweet pineapple, but feel free to use your favourite fruit or better yet, whatever is in season.
