Welcome to Come On Over, a Food52 newsletter about hosting life\u2019s big and little moments. It\u2019s where we share our personal tips and tricks, from modern-day etiquette\u2014shoes off or shoes on?\u2014to making extra seating out of every surface of an apartment. This week, we\u2019re veggie grilling for the masses.<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Good hosts know that catering to all kinds of diets is the name of the game nowadays. No hate to meat\u2014I love a good steak on the grill\u2014but broadening your horizons to master meatless grilling is a win for you and your guests. I like to use hosting opportunities to play with ingredients I\u2019m less familiar with, like nutritional yeast, a big fave of mine lately\u2026 What are yours? Respond and let me know, and let\u2019s get into the veg-forward grilling tips.<\/p>\n

1. Grilling With the Stars<\/h2>\n

Step aside, basic veggie burger. Think big: spicy Impossible sausages, charred cauliflower steaks<\/a>, juicy portobellos, zesty halloumi slabs<\/a>. The goal is to have as much variety as you’d expect from a meat-heavy grill\u2014maybe more. The sky\u2019s the limit.<\/p>\n

2. With Cheese, Please<\/h2>\n

When grilling for vegetarians, don\u2019t hold back on the cheese. A whole block of feta dressed with lemon and herbs can take any veggie dish from fine to fire, and check out all the cheesy ways to top your veggie patties with different Cracker Barrel Cheeses<\/a>.<\/p>\n

3. Don\u2019t Sleep on the Sides<\/h2>\n

Grilled corn, asparagus, leeks\u2014throw just about any veg on the grill and it\u2019ll earn fan mail. But it\u2019s a good idea to balance all that char and cheese with something fresh and chilled. Think: crisp slaw, arugula and pomegranate salad<\/a>, or anything that cools guests down between bites. A good veggie spread needs contrast.<\/p>\n
