Vegetarian recipe ideas for your next braai

Baked brinjals

Brinjals will always win the vegetarians over and while this recipe is technically for the oven, you can easily cook them on the braai, too. Either keep the brinjals on the cooler side of the fire and turn occasionally, or wrap them in foil and place them right in the coals.

Brinjal skewers

Yes, another brinjal recipe but we've included it for two reasons. Firstly, these are a crowd-pleaser that everyone, even the meat-eaters, will enjoy. Secondly, they're a reminder that any kind of veggie can be given the kebab treatment.

Three-cheese braaibroodjie

Braaibroodjies are nothing revolutionary, but if you make them well (in other words, stuff them with three different types of cheese), they're guaranteed to keep the vegetarians at any braai happy.

Braaied plant-based sausages

If you're looking for a meat alternative, plant-based sausages are always a great idea – especially when they're glazed, sticky and charred, like these.

Blue-cheese baked gem squash

Give gem squash the baked potato treatment by wrapping them in foil and cooking them straight on the coals. Blue cheese is optional, but highly recommended.

Charred cauliflower and broccoli with Thai green curry butter

Cauliflower always benefits from a bit of colour, and you can achieve that pretty easily on a braai. Just keep rotating them so they char evenly.
