10 plant-based recipes
Explore CuisineSavvy recipes and articles tagged BBQ.
This collection brings together CuisineSavvy recipes explicitly tagged BBQ. It is a focused way to explore the catalogue without scrolling through every plant-based recipe on the site. Tags describe the recipe as published; they are not inferred from a title or from a search phrase. That makes the recipes here a more dependable match for the topic, while still leaving room for different cuisines, courses, cooking methods and levels of complexity.
Use the filter below to narrow these bbq recipes by an ingredient, dish or cooking style, then sort the complete set by newest, oldest or HealthScore. Each recipe links to its full ingredients, method, declared allergens and nutrition panel, so you can compare the details that matter to you rather than relying on a label alone. Nutrition needs vary from person to person; where a category relates to a medical condition or prescribed diet, use the recipe data as a starting point and follow advice from your qualified healthcare professional.

A fully plant-based, low FODMAP take on Monash University's classic BBQ Chicken Skewers with Lemon Sauce. Cubes of pressed firm tofu are threaded onto skewers with courgette rings and red pepper chunks, grilled until golden and lightly charred, then finished with a silky lemon, rosemary and maple syrup pan sauce. Garlic-infused olive oil stands in for fresh garlic — the standard Monash substitution — delivering rich allium flavour without a single fructan. Bright, smoky and weeknight-fast.

A fully plant-based, gluten-free riff on Gran Luchito's chipotle BBQ pork ribs. King oyster mushrooms, halved lengthways, stand in for the rib shape and hold up beautifully to the grill, while torn oyster, shiitake and chestnut mushrooms add texture and earthy depth. The original two-stage method is preserved — braise first so the mushrooms absorb all that smoky, spiced liquid, then finish over high heat with the chipotle sauce brushed on — because that is precisely what makes the dish. Three common gluten traps in the original (dark beer, Worcestershire sauce and taco seasoning) have each been addressed with named substitutes, with the reasoning called out in the method so a coeliac cook never has to guess.

Smoky, flame-kissed pulled jackfruit fajita bites made entirely on the BBQ — no oven, no hob, no indoor steps needed. Young green jackfruit stands in brilliantly for beef: dried well after rinsing so it chars and crisps at the edges rather than steaming. Pepper and onion strips go straight onto the grill grates for that essential fajita char, tortillas warm on the grill in seconds, and everything is finished with fresh lime and creamy avocado. Sized for a party — makes 24 one-or-two-bite hors d'oeuvres that guests can grab with one hand while mingling.

A bold, smoky, and fiery plant-based take on grilled Mexican-spiced "chicken." Whole cauliflower steaks and florets stand in for chicken pieces, marinated in a punchy chipotle-ancho chili paste with cumin, smoked paprika, and lime, then charred over an open BBQ flame alongside caramelized carrots and broccoli. Fresh jalapeños and cilantro finish the dish with brightness and heat. 100% vegan, totally satisfying, and packed with flavor from every angle.
