Grilled veggies are obviously a must; mushrooms, eggplant, courgette, peppers, corn on the cob, onions, etc. Then I tend to do some veggie burgers and sausages; I like the Linda McCartney sausages and Fry's or Redwood burgers. Make sure you're stocked up on condiments - vegan mayo, ketchup, mustard, brown sauce. Obviously, bread rolls are needed too. Then I usually do some salad bits, a potato salad/some baked potatoes, some fresh fruit, and a couple of really good desserts (cupcakes, cookies, or something more adventurous). With all that on offer, people don't tend to miss the meat!
And if they do, I suggest sticking them on the grill.
Tofu is great on the grill. I cut it into thick slices and run a couple of skewers through them to keep them from falling apart. Just make sure you use extra firm.

You can definitely make veggie burgers yourself! I just can never be bothered. You have two options for that; from scratch, or a packet mix. From scratch, there's a bunch of recipes on the internet. With packet mix, just follow the directions on the box. The packet stuff usually works a bit like stuffing; add water, shape and grill/fry. Dunno how well it'd work on a BBQ though, they may fall apart...
i haven't tried he recipe yet but i've been dying to make this seitan recipe on the grill. i've never had a bad experience with any other recipe from the ffv blog.
I like to Grill Zucchini, onions, Bell Peppers and Mushrooms. Then stuff them in some pita bread with stone ground mustard.
Oh I also like to take a Potato dice it up with a little bit of Red Onion. Put a little bit of Earth Balance on top of it and wrap it in tin foil. Through it on the grill. You really dont get the grill flavor with it wraped up so just open it up towards the end to take in some charcoal flavor.
I hope to see some more ideas posted in this thread... I am only 3months into being a vegertarian and really would like to see some more Veggie style grilling ideas.
I love asparagus (and other veggies, but asparagus especially) marinated in balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and rosemary on the bbq. Tofu is awesome on the grill, as is spiced polenta.
Love to grill some Pineapple and Necterines.... Brush them down with a little bit of Amaretto before I throw them on the grill for a little extra flavor and they will carmelize great.
I need to find some of these Field Roast Sauages... The few mock sausages ived tryed were horrible.
Experiment with making your own burgers and grill them. There are tons of recipes online for different burger ingredients such as lentil, black bean, fava, tvp, soy crumbles and even some nut or seed variety. It's a good excuse to use your grill all season, yet since all the burgers will taste different, you wont be bored having burgers all summer!
You can also experiment with different marinades for tofu and veggies and grill them, there are so many varieties you can do with BBQing that it's endless! Experiment, and have fun.
