26 Easy Peasy BBQ Recipes

Hands up who loves a barbecue? When the temperatures begin to creep upwards, getting out in the garden, firing up the BBQ and eating al fresco is one of the most enjoyable ways to spend an afternoon or evening. But it’s so easy to get stuck in a rut of cooking the same old BBQ food… which can get a bit boring! Don’t get me wrong, I love the BBQ classics, but there’s a whole world of exciting food you can cook on the barbecue. 

For this roundup I’ve gathered together 26 of my favourite easy peasy barbecue recipes to share with you. First, some lovely things to cook on the barbecue: a whole array of exciting burgers, kebabs and grilled meats. Next, I am sharing a beautiful selection of tasty salads and other barbecue sides. And finally, a collection of delicious barbecue sauces and dips. In short, everything you need to make your next barbecue positively fizzle with taste bud tantalization! Click the links below to jump straight to the section you are most interested in, or keep scrolling to see everything:

  • On the barbecue
  • Salads and side dishes
  • Sauces and dips

For each recipe, I’ve included a link to the recipe, plus prep times, cook times and total times, so you can quickly and easily see which recipe suits your needs and the time available. Where appropriate, I’ve also included suggested ways you can adapt these recipes to suit the ingredients you have available and/or your personal preferences.

If you make one of these recipes (or, even better, discover a new BBQ favourite!) I’d love to hear from you. Let me know in the comments below or via social media. I’m on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
