Can vegans eat food that's grilled over charcoal?

Question

jango---are you sure ALL of those recipes are vegan?

jango----some of your recipes aren't vegan.

krister----hmmm, I didn't even consider using the same grill that cooks meat would be a problem. Good point.

drusilla------cashew "butter"? Are you vegan or no?

tree-----there is butter in that recipe list. Might be only one recipe, I didn't look at all of them.

I looked up recipes for cashew butter and they used butter, but I've since seen the kind you are mentioning. Thanks.

Answer 1

Well I guess it depends on the vegan. I'd eat it if I were vegan.

I mean most charcoal is just made of wood so I don't see why not.

Answer 2

Yes, I can eat any food I choose to. I choose to not eat animal and animal products.

On Wednesdays, during the spring through fall (from when the temperature finally thaws to it gets too cold to sit out for too long) my apartment complex has a community cookout/potluck. Everything I bring for the charcoal grill I grill on foil, as there is technically meat juice on the grill. My husband, who eats meat, has taken a liking to Boca's Italian "sausage". I put mine on foil and he just puts his on the grill.

From what I saw, Jango's suggestions look to be vegan, unless he edited his list.

Cashew butter is vegan. Cashew is a nut and cashew butter is like peanut butter, only made with the cashew nut. It's also more expensive than peanut butter, partly, I think, because most brands do not use corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup or any other sweeteners. However, there are some natural (what I call real) peanut butters that do not have that extra, unneeded stuff either.

Answer 3

Yes. Grilled vegetables, or kabobs.
There's room on the grill for veggies, but where to start? Many vegetables grill well, but some aren't cut out for it, especially those high in water content. Cucumbers don't make the grade, nor does celery, lettuce or most leafy greens. But even a marginally skilled backyard chef can do wonders with asparagus, eggplant, onions and even cabbage. Peppers are a natural grilling choice too, whether you choose bell peppers or the hot variety.

Here are some ideas:
Grilled Asparagus
Grilled Soy-Sesame Asparagus
Grilled Asparagus with Roasted Garlic Toast and Balsamic Vinaigrette
Thai Charred Eggplant with Tofu
Grilled Yellow Squash
Grilled Zucchini I
Savory Grilled Onions
Cabbage on the Grill
Grilled Poblano Pepper and Mango Quesadillas
Marinated Barbequed Vegetables
Marinated Veggies
Eggplant Mixed Grill
Grilled Beets in Rosemary Vinegar
Marinated Mushrooms and Eggplant with Peanut Sauce
Grilled Radishes
Foil Wrapped Veggies
Grilled Zucchini and Squash
Grilled Potatoes and Onion

Answer 4

Yep. I love grilled foods, and you can make plenty of grilled stuff that's vegan. Carcinogens form from grilling meat fats, so I don't have a problem grilling veggies.

My favourite restaurant serves a fantastic sandwich of grilled pineapple on multigrain bread with cashew butter. Mmm.

Answer 5

Fruits. Bananas are my favorite. btw did you know that tomatoes are the #1 selling fruits? true beans

Answer 6

fruit grows on shrub or vines and fresh vegetables grow in the earth.

Answer 7

Vegans can eat anything they want.

Do you mean WOULD they eat food grilled over charcoal? Yes.

Answer 8

Yes there are numerous vegetables that can be cooked on the grill.

Answer 9

sure why not? My grill is propane but I have grilled over coals before.

Answer 10

I don't have a problem with it if I use a separate grill.

I don't think it's very healthy though.
