Another great place to find grilling vegetarian recipes is Green Friends Online.

Sometimes grilling vegetarian recipes is simply a matter of substituting the meat in whatever recipe you are grilling. When grilling "hamburgers," use tofu burgers or bocca burgers (made from soy beans). You can sometimes buy this "meat" without being made into patties, so that you can use your favorite hamburger recipes. Tofu seasoned up with other ingredients can also be formed into patties and fried like a hamburger.

Vegetables can be incorporated into your grilling season very easily as well. Grilled asparagus, smoked cabbage, and other vegetarian recipes are rare but can be found in a real search of the net. Some vegetarians eat fish, while they eat no other meat. Take advantage of this with your friends and family to try out great simple but fancy vegetarian recipes like grilled shrimp or grilled salmon, or even grilled oysters on the half shell.

Wherever you find your grilling vegetarian recipes, you should try them in advance, before grilling for company, just to make sure that they are good recipes to try. Also, keep in mind that when you are cooking for a crowd, if the food is good enough everyone will eat it. So make sure you make enough of the vegetarian dishes for everyone!
