Load up on veggies
Veggie skewers are a great part of any barbecue, and as veggies are low in calories you should 100% load up on them. Some of the best vegetables for grilling on the BBQ include red onion, peppers, tomatoes and aubergine. Cut them into large chunks and cook until charred. You could eat them as they are, or marinade them in a mixture of lemon juice, herbs and oil like this recipe from RecipeTinEats.
Barbecued veggies are excellent with pasta to make a slightly healthier take on your regular barbecue pasta salad staple, and if you’ve got any leftover after your barbecue they’re great folded into an omelette.
