BBQ better this summer: 5 tips to master the grill
Sunshine, good vibes, and the smell of grilled food in the air: summer is here, and it’s BBQ day, every day. This season, “mindful barbecuing” is definitely the next big thing. Think light, balanced dishes that are super satisfying, but not super filling.
Our Bosch BetterFood App has your back to turn BBQ classics into a feast for everyone; vegan, gluten-free, calorie-conscious and more. In this article we have even more helpful tips, tasty recipe ideas, and BBQ tricks.
BBQ is for everyone
Good food brings people together, and it’s best when everyone can have some of that good food on their plate. When planning the BBQ, keep everyone's diets in mind. Vegan, gluten-free or calorie-conscious, you can make a delicious meal for any diet.
Planning made easy: A few taps, and our BetterFood App will help you adapt your favorite BBQ recipes to different diets in no time. The ingredient lists and instructions update automatically for all of the different recipe variants.
This season the colors are vibrant, so put them on the grill
Let your creativity shine at the grill! Go for veggies, tofu, fish, or homemade skewers that are not only delicious but also bring variety, a light touch, and a wholesome finish to the table. Think bell peppers, zucchini, mushrooms, and eggplant getting into the mix, which all bring plenty of fiber and vitamins. Either grilled in slices or whole, these veggies just work.
Perfect for the summer: Lemon tofu skewers with nectarines >>Pro Tip: Having color on the grill isn’t all about vegetables but fruit too! Don’t knock grilled peaches or nectarines before you try them.
Made by you, specifically for you
When you make burger buns, dips, or flatbreads yourself, you know exactly what’s in them and you can easily adapt the recipe. Gluten-free? You got it. Vegan? Yup! Flavor? Dialed up to the max! Plus: There’ll be no added sugars hiding in the shadows and no unnecessary piles of plastic to clean up after.

Smart sides: Lighter, but just as satisfying
Any light side dish can be just as satisfying as a creamy potato salad or garlic bread, and they’re quicker to make! Crisp salads, baked potatoes, or couscous with fresh herbs bring the freshness you need this summer and before you know it the BBQ table is complete.
