+ 14 Vegan Thanksgiving Recipes

1. Sweet Potato Casserole

The first vegan Thanksgiving recipe is the classic sweet potato casserole, a layer of creamy sweet potatoes flavored with ginger covered with a topping made of savory pecans. You won’t even come close to missing the marshmallows!

2. Stuffed Acorn Squash

One of the dishes that I often prepare for Thanksgiving is stuffed acorn squash. This vegan Thanksgiving recipe is tasty and filling, placing the food at its height of freshness at the forefront of the dish. I stuff the luscious butternut squash in this dish with a flavorful mixture of tempeh and mushrooms.

3. Creamy Mushroom Polenta

This dish proves that a satisfying vegan Thanksgiving recipe does not need a lot of effort on the cook’s part. Although it only consists of sautéed mushrooms and creamy polenta, this dish is reassuring and delectable despite its apparent lack of complexity.

4. Roasted Delicata Squash

Although I like spaghetti squash, acorn squash, and butternut squash, if I had to choose just one kind of winter squash as my favorite, it would be delicate. The naturally sweet and creamy squash combines kale, apples, fresh herbs, and an apple cider vinaigrette in a vegan Thanksgiving recipe. It’s like an autumn taste bomb went off in your mouth!

5. Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes

Although I like all of the ingredients of a vegan Thanksgiving recipe, including the comforting baked sweet potatoes and the refreshing broccoli filling, the sauce is, without a doubt, my favorite component of this meal. It is prepared with the flesh of the sweet potato that has been scooped out, rosemary, and lemon juice, and it has an appealing sweet and salty taste.

Try this vegan Thanksgiving recipe of roasted squash, chopped dates, crisp almonds, and baby kale mixed in a creamy tahini dressing for a “salad” that is worthy of becoming a meal and will please everyone.

This vegan Thanksgiving recipe is simple yet attractive and adds a touch of unexpected intrigue to the Thanksgiving table while imparting a wealth of autumn flavor. To make this dish suitable for vegans, substitute the butter with your preferred plant-based alternative, or use good olive oil.

8. Bourbon Yams

The dish is elevated to a new level when slow-cooked yams are combined with a splash of quality bourbon and are finished with a topping of spiced walnuts. If you want to keep this vegan Thanksgiving recipe, use your preferred replacement for butter.

9. Easy Vegan Spinach Artichoke Dip

Deliciousness that is silky smooth, wealthy, and oozing with melted cheese that is sure to win over everyone!
