Vegan Thanksgiving Dishes to Wow Your Guests
Hi Y’all! It’s Maddy. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday as we get a chance to get together and be thankful! Thanksgiving is all about celebrating gratitude with a table full of delicious dishes. If you’re hosting a vegan-friendly gathering or just looking to add plant-based options to your feast, these dishes will shine as much as the holiday itself.
Let us know if you’d like to see more healthy options to make!
Vegan Lentil Loaf with Maple Glaze
This hearty and flavorful lentil loaf is packed with protein and topped with a sweet and tangy maple glaze. It’s the perfect centerpiece for your Thanksgiving table and pairs beautifully with all the classic sides. An option that we love to do is to create a sweet maple ketchup glaze for the lentil loaf itself. Let us know if you’d like the full recipe!
Dairy Free Cheeze & Crackers Board
Appetizers before the big meal is always a fun addition to any gathering. We’re partial, but love our Credo Smoky Cheddar Spray Cheeze paired with a buttery round golden crackers.
Creamy Vegan Mashed Potatoes
Rich, fluffy, and buttery without the dairy, these mashed potatoes are made with plant-based milk and vegan butter. A touch of roasted garlic takes this comfort food staple to the next level.
Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Cranberries and Pecans
Roast these veggies until crispy, then toss them with dried cranberries and toasted pecans for a holiday-inspired twist. The mix of savory and sweet flavors makes this dish a standout.
Sweet Potato Casserole with Marshmallow Topping
One of my personal favorites. Yes, you can make a vegan version of this classic! Creamy mashed sweet potatoes are topped with a layer of vegan marshmallows or marshmallow cream (We love Funky Mello & Dandies) or a pecan crumble for a show-stopping side dish.
Vegan Pumpkin Pie
Finish your feast with this classic dessert, made entirely plant-based. A flaky vegan pie crust filled with a perfectly spiced pumpkin custard ensures no one misses the dairy. Top with coconut whipped cream for a truly indulgent experience.
Thanksgiving doesn’t have to revolve around turkey and dairy—these plant-based recipes will have everyone asking for seconds. Whether you’re fully vegan or simply want to add more plant-based dishes to your table, these recipes will help you create a feast full of flavor and love.
