These BBQ Recipes Belong on Your Summer Menu

Sun’s out, grill’s on. If that’s your summer motto then we’re right there with you. To celebrate the 4th of July (or any day, really) here’s our roundup of the recipes you’ll want to make on repeat all season long. Don’t forget to open a bottle of clean wine to really savor these flavors.

Best Burger

Let’s start with a classic. These patties are made from 100% grass-fed ground beef and seasoned with Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and salt. For a simple backyard party, make a platter with your favorite fixings like sliced tomato, lettuce, grilled onions, pickles, and ketchup.

Keto Instant Pot Ribs

No grill? No problem. The Instant Pot cooks up tender ribs by locking in flavor, all without needing to keep heading outside to turn and baste your meat. Plus, the dry rub nixes sugar in favor of more savory spices like paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder, so the whole dish is keto-friendly.

Vegan BBQ Mac and Cheese

If you’re heading to a potluck, bring this. Everyone will clamor for a scoop of the can’t-believe-it’s-vegan mac and cheese. It’s mixed with meaty jackfruit and seasoned with paprika, coconut sugar, and cayenne for a perfectly balanced bite.

Keto Wedge Salad Toasts

This easy appetizer will keep your guests full while waiting for the main event. The skewers are loaded with BLT ingredients like iceberg lettuce and cherry tomatoes, then drizzled with Thousand Island dressing.

Grilled Fruit & Seafood Kabobs

Here’s a sweet way to get an extra fruit serving while you enjoy a plate of sustainable seafood. The charred kebabs feature two flavor combos: tuna and peaches or shrimp and pineapple. Drizzle everything with a spicy sriracha mayo for the perfect finishing touch.
