They’ve obviously never heard of the Veganz BBQ specialities! Trust us: quite often, people simply don’t know, or they lack inspiration and ideas when it comes to the things you can put on a BBQ and how to prepare the food. Be sure to tell them which vegan BBQ alternatives make you happy and just how easy it is to veganise a BBQ.

So, get the BBQ season started and work your way through our favourite vegan BBQ dishes and products!

Tips for your vegan BBQ

Try out some vegan alternatives to meat!

There is already a huge selection of vegan BBQ foods available. Vegan alternatives are made with plant-based proteins that don’t cause animal suffering. You can get schnitzel, nuggets, BBQ sausages, but also handy and versatile dehydrated soya and seitan products for the passionate hobby chefs among you.

Whether they’re made with soya, tofu, or seitan: vegan BBQ foods often both look and taste surprisingly like their traditional meat-derived cousins. Just like meat, you can put them straight on the fire and smoke or marinate them. Anybody who thinks you can’t have a BBQ without meat has really got it wrong. It’s high time we put the days of traditional meat choices behind us!

While colourful BBQ veggies have already been popular for a long time, there’s so much more we can do… Thanks to the plant-based alternatives by Veganz, you can be absolutely sure to make the most delicious food the next time you get the BBQ out! Besides ready-made alternatives to meat like the spicy Veganz BBQ Sausages, our huge range also includes a lot of dehydrated soya products that are quick and easy to make into a selection of vegan BBQ foods: whether you choose Seitan Powder or Soy Medallions – with these plant-based alternatives to meat, you can create something for every taste.

Vegan sausages? We love them!

It’s BBQ time! Fried or off the BBQ, these two flavours will convince even the fussiest BBQ chef: The Original One and The Spicy One. And if you’re still not convinced, just wait until you take the first bite out of it and you’ll be totally sold on authentic vegan BBQ Sausages. Trust us: they certainly have no need to hide, neither in the pan nor on the BBQ! It’s not just you who will be convinced either: quick to make and crispy on the outside – your BBQ guests will fall in love with them as well!

We love our BBQ Sausages quite simply as a vegan alternative to the meaty version in a roll with mustard, ketchup, gherkins, and a good serving of roasted onion.

Seitan Powder and Soy Medallions for the creative among you

If your granny were vegan, our Soy Medallions and our Seitan Powder would already form part of every single family recipe that gets passed down from generation to generation. With our dehydrated soya products, you can make hearty classics like BBQ skewers, roasts, or even bacon just like in the old days – and vegan, of course.

For example, why not try out the Veganz Soy Medallions as vegan soya skewers with a spicy dip?

Vegan Nuggets are easy to make in just a few minutes

It’s the dawn of a golden age thanks to our vegan Nuggets. They’re incredibly juicy and come in a crispy breaded coating, and they’re the sort of thing that any side wants to be seen with. We recommend: your choice of salsa or a spicy BBQ sauce since this plant-based snack is simply made for dipping and snacking! The meat-free Nuggets are great to make in the pan or on the BBQ and they’re even an interesting food choice for athletes or those who watch what they eat thanks to the high-quality plant protein they’re made from.

Vegan Schnitzel for those who love it traditional

Our spicy Veganz Schnitzel are made from soya and wheat protein and surrounded by a golden brown breaded coating. They go perfectly in a roll or simply with a veggie BBQ sauce or deliciously sinful potato wedges. What? You’ve got a load of hungry mouths to feed? Then why not take this most popular Austrian speciality and make it into a vegan schnitzel platter!?

Don’t stop at the basics – add some dips, salad, and the like

For a BBQ, it isn’t enough to just have some plant-based burgers and sausages! There are so many other tasty vegan alternatives that are just as much part of a veggie BBQ as the BBQ itself. And as such, Veganz doesn’t just put some variety on your plate, but also on your bread.

Veganz Sandwich Spread for the perfect finish

We’ve got them all for you: fantastic dips and creamy alternatives to cheese for your veggies, patties, and the like. Among them: two different sorts of Veganz Sandwich Spread, Remoulade Style and Classic. It’s not just great on bread, but it also makes a perfect dressing for potato and pasta salad.
The sides are the ideal place to have some real fun: coleslaw, farmer salad, or simply a garden salad refined with a delicious salad dressing. Vegan salad to go with a BBQ – you just can’t go without! But there are so many types of vegetables like sweet potato fries, peppers, or even grilled pumpkin. They’re sure to make your BBQ buffet even more varied. A colourful selection won’t just have you convinced, but your friends, too!

Veganz The Gourmet as a creamy all-rounder

There’s no better choice of side for your tasty veggie sausage and crispy bread than tomato and mozzarella – just make it the vegan version in a typical Italian Caprese salad. Your alternative to mozzarella: The Gourmet Classic. It gets its full-bodied and salty-fresh flavour thanks to the special way it matures with vegan lactic acid cultures. Our cashew-based dream goes perfectly with everybody’s all-time favourite: baked potatoes. Use the creamy raw food delicacy simply to fill a cheesy vegan baked potato, as a plant-based topping for your packed veggies, or as a delicate spread on bread, available as The Gourmet Classic, The Gourmet Herbs, and The Gourmet Tomato. Do you like it old school? Then top your grilled veggies with one of these incredibly delicious varieties and put them right on the BBQ, or sizzle the entirely plant-based organic alternative to cheese like grilled cheese on your BBQ.

You can find these and other suitable products to enjoy on the BBQ with our vegan web shop partner vekoop, in the three Veganz stores in Berlin, and with selected partners like REWE, Spar Austria, and Coop in Switzerland.

Spare a thought for nature! Consider the climate whenever you eat & act

Just take a look at the parks and you can instantly tell when it’s BBQ season: beer cans, paper and plastic plates, plastic cutlery, plastic bags, packaging material, used single-use BBQs, and maybe even a few cheap and nasty BBQs – it’s all there lying around. And there’s no need for any of it.

Are you one of those people who use aluminium foil to separate the vegan steaks and sausages from the meat? There’s something you should keep in mind, though: it’s not just bad for the environment. Salt and acids can cause aluminium to seep out of the foil and that’s bad for your health. Some great alternatives are stone grills or special BBQ pans. It’s also worth getting some lightweight tableware and cutlery. If you’re worried about things getting broken and don’t fancy carrying heavy stuff, just take a look in the camping section in any shop. Avoid single-use bottles for your drinks – recyclable bottles even make the drinks taste better. There’s not even a need for single-use BBQs: you can get handy, portable BBQs in any DIY shop.

By the way, we at Veganz show our eco credentials – and that includes the carbon footprint. So that you know all the facts, you can find the Eaternity sustainability score on the product packaging of each and every Veganz product.
