Get ready, Kiwis—BBQ season is heating up in 2025, and it's more exciting than ever! This year, it’s all about mixing sustainability, health and fun into your backyard bash.
The Rise of Flexitarian Feasts: Who says BBQs are just for meat-lovers? This year, plant-based options are taking centre stage. Think colourful, delish veggie skewers and innovative meat alternatives that even die-hard carnivores will love. For a fresh twist, try adding a mouth-watering grilled cos lettuce to your menu. Check out this delicious recipe for Italian grilled romaine (or ‘cos’ to us Kiwis!) salad that will make your BBQ one to remember. And while you’re at it, make sure your BBQ setup is as smooth as your new recipe—Nurajack pedestals keep your deck level and party-ready, so you can focus on flipping those veggies and perfecting those plant-based skewers!
Gourmet BBQ Adventures: Wave goodbye to the boring sausage and burger combo. Today’s BBQ enthusiasts are stepping up their game with exotic flavours and fancy cooking techniques. Imagine smoked brisket (check out this awesome recipe), slow-cooked pulled pork and succulent grilled seafood that will make your taste buds dance. Put away that air fryer and embrace the low-and-slow cooking methods of summer; it’s time to turn your backyard into a top-notch culinary experience! For a gourmet setup, consider using rock-steady Nuraspikes to create the perfect foundation for your deck, outdoor kitchen or pizza oven, so you can cook up a storm without missing a beat!
Eat in Season and Go Zero Waste: Ready to be a BBQ hero? Embrace the bounty of the season and take your BBQ to the next level! Cooking with fresh, in-season ingredients doesn’t just make your BBQ tastier; it supports regenerative agriculture, which restores soil, boosts biodiversity and reduces carbon footprints. Combine this with a zero-waste mindset by using every part of your ingredients—vegetable scraps can become tasty stocks, herb stems can add flavour to marinades and even stale bread can be turned into croutons for salads. Grill up those veggie peels or use fruit scraps for a homemade BBQ sauce. Not only will you impress your guests with your resourcefulness, but you’ll also contribute to a more sustainable lifestyle. And while you’re making eco-friendly choices, remember that Nurajack decking pedestals are made from at least 70% post-consumer recycling components and are fully recyclable. By incorporating these into your outdoor space, you’ll ensure a stunning, sustainable setup that matches your green BBQ efforts!
