Anything can be cooked on the grill – from heavy, juicy steaks to light healthy dishes. If you're planning a barbecue and you have guests that are vegan or healthy eaters, try any of these quick yet enjoyable vegan-friendly grill recipes.

Grilled Garlic and Balsamic Mushrooms

What you need:

  • 1 kilogram mushrooms, sliced into 1/4-inch thick pieces
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • Salt and ground black pepper to taste

In a bowl, combine garlic, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, thyme, salt and pepper. Pour mixture in a sealable plastic bag. Place mushrooms in the bag and shake to coat with mixture. Seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. When ready, place mushrooms in skewers and discard excess marinade. Grill mushrooms over medium high heat for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until tender.

Honey Lime Grilled Cauliflower

What you need:

  • 2 large heads cauliflower, leaves removed and ends trimmed
  • 2 limes, zested and juiced
  • 2 cloves garlic, grated
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons paprika
  • 1 tablespoon chipotle powder
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Trim the sides of the cauliflower heads and slice into 4-inch “steaks”. In a small bowl, combine the lime juice and olive oil then add the garlic and honey. In a separate bowl, combine the lime zest, paprika, chipotle and salt. Brush both side of the cauliflower heads with honey lime mixture then sprinkle with chipotle mixture. Cook on a pre-heated grill, covered, over medium high heat for 5 to 6 minutes per side or until cooked through. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve with lime wedges.

Avocado and Lettuce Caesar Salad Grill Style

What you need:

To prepare the dressing, combine the garlic, hemp hearts, water, lemon juice, yeast, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt and pepper in a blender and pulse until smooth.
