Summer is here! Well, nearly, depending on where you live. But the change in weather gives us more opportunities to spend some time with the kids outside, on the beach, or just in the back garden. We all love a barbecue, and it’s the perfect opportunity to get friends and relatives over and enjoy the sunshine, but what about those that don’t eat meat? It can be a pain for vegetarians or vegans, they can feel left out, but here is a great veggie recipe for the perfect veggie barbecue.

Bean & Carrot Patty

The great thing about this recipe is the smoky flavor you can get into the patty. You know that it’s not the same if you’re trying to be veggie friendly in a barbecue by making some veggie burgers, but they don’t have the same charcoal-y feel to it, do they? An electric smoker has been my lifesaver for this, and friends have commented on how authentic a simple veggie burger has been. And I could never go with a different brand after seeing this, I must say, because the versatility of a smoker has pepped up every meat and meat-free meal ever since!

I’m constantly amazed by how many people love these patties, and they’re so good for you. So I hope this sets you off on a veggie journey into barbecuing. So many people think that veggie food in a barbecue is boring salads, so let’s make it more interesting for everyone!
