Father’s Day is right around the corner, and everyone’s excitedly looking forward to this meaningful day. This is when everyone can celebrate their fathers, people who have been a father to them, or even them being a father. What better way to show our appreciation to our cool and awesome fathers on their special day than hosting a fun BBQ day with their family and friends? Smoking grills in a backyard cookout will surely get everyone pumped up for this special day. But, knowing that we’re vegans here, I know you’re all wondering, how could BBQ day succeed without meat? Well, that’s why Vegan Chickpea is here. Instead of the usual meat recipes for backyard cookouts, here are seven Vegan BBQ Recipes for Father’s Day that will certainly let them know how much we appreciate them for always having our backs.
1. Sweet Teriyaki Veggie Kabobs
Patience is a virtue that all parents need when raising their kids, and it usually bears good results. These veggie kabobs are no exception to that.

Also, this recipe proves that the grill is not only for steaks and burgers because even your favorite veggies will taste even more delicious with that smoky taste we all love in a good BBQ. Also, the mango teriyaki sauce where the tempeh is marinated in can also be used to brush your skewers off while grilling, which really adds to the freshness of this dish.
