Nothing signals summer like the sizzle of the grill and we vegans (and vegetarians ) are stepping up our BBQ game with tantalizing mains, sides, and appetizers that will entice even the most dedicated meat eaters and omnivores.

Dont worry if you dont have an outdoor grill or are living in a small space; weve found that alternatives like the Ninja Foodi Grill easily create the same seared taste while functioning indoors like other kitchen appliances. But we also recognize that indoor grills are pricey, so a grill pan or cast-iron pan , which are generally inexpensive, will do the trick just as well .

Whether youre cooking in your condo or spending summer in your backyard, weve got everything you need to make delicious memories. Check out our roundup of vegan BBQ-inspired recipes from some top culinary creators below.
