one.
GLAZED
GRILLED MISO-GLAZED JAPANESE EGGPLANT
This is the perfect side or main to bring to a cookout. If you haven’t tried miso with eggplant before, you’re in for a treat. The saltiness of the miso combined with the smoky umami of grilled eggplant is a match made in heaven. Glazing then grilling creates a melt-in-your-mouth eggplant with an incredible caramelization that we wish we could bottle up!
two.
BAKED
30 MIN VEGAN BISCUITS AND GRAVY
Want to impress but pressed for time? These perfectly-flaky biscuits can be whipped up in 30 minutes with a mushroom-based gravy you can simmer while the oven works its magic. The ultimate addition to a southern grill out.
three.
FLOAT
VANILLA ROOIBOS PEACH ICE CREAM FLOATS
Ripe peaches blended with concentrated rooibos tea is poured over vanilla bean ice cream with a splash of soda. It’s stupid easy to make and the texture is sublime. Another stunning flavor combo to try: blackberries, Earl Grey, and lavender. Float nirvana!

TOSSED
If everyone expects the vegan to bring a salad, do not disappoint! This caesar salad is completely plant-based and is elevated with sliced cantaloupe, blanched almonds, and grilled baguette. Ooh la la!

No BBQ is complete without a side of guacamole - but this one takes it to the next level with grilled corn, peaches, and the surprising twist of adding fresh basil.
