Get ready for an uber tasty holiday roundup of all my favorite Vegetarian Thanksgiving Recipes! With vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options, there’s something delicious for everyone to eat!
It’s the tastiest time of the year!
I started tearing through my archives trying to plan this year’s Thanksgiving spread and realized my eyes are no less than 1000x bigger than my stomach; I want it all! We might have to do this old school and just turn one day of thankful face-stuffage into a week-long feast.
To celebrate, here are a few of my favorite vegetarian thanksgiving recipes from the past several years. I’d be beyond honored if one winds up on your plate this year! How cool would that be!?
Keep me posted so I can do my infamous obnoxious happy dance and really test the limits of those jeggings!
Love you all like woah!
So I totally decided to focus on the fruit and veggies for this little round-up, since they’re in need lots of love on the big day! The turkey and ham and sometimes even tofurkey tend to steal the show, but for us it’s all about the side dishes. They’re hands-down my favorite part of any holiday meal!
Diversify your eats and let those colors pop on the table! A colorful plate is a healthy plate, even if one of those colors is CHOCOLATE!
Yeah I said it!
Above all else, enjoy the holidays even if you’re channeling moi circa 2011 and eating veggie pizza in your pjs. Find your happy and eat. yo. veggies!

Jenn,
Thanks for allowing me to share your round up in my Best Thanksgiving Round Ups post! I appreciate your contribution to the cornucopia of recipes. With your help, we’ve got hundreds of recipes for all sorts of Thanksgiving needs, from setting the table, to making ahead, to vegetarian dishes, to more desserts than my brain can comprehend.
Happy Thanksgiving!
I’m so jealous of Thanksgiving! 😛 haha I’d happily tuck into all of these. Thanks for including my wild rice and kale salad!
Thanks for the share buddy. Is it creepy that I already saw ALL your recipes? (It may or may not have to do with the fact that for a lifehack article, I referenced four of your recipes and got a warning lolol!)
You just did an entirely veggie friendly Thanksgiving post. I think I heart you even more. Bring Steph’s pie and we’ll recreate all these.
Yum! The desserts are my fav!! Does that make me a bad person?! 😉
I have been looking for a bread and olive oil dip. Embarassingly at the store pre-made. I can’t wait to try this one.
Absolutely gorgeous and recipe looks delish!
Please excuse me as I wipe away the drool….lately if it has goat cheese, it’s my friend! Today I bought some cranberry cinnamon goat cheese. And yes, it’s as good as it sounds! 😉
Yummy! I love Thanksgiving food so much. Pumpkin cheesecake is my favorite though. I’m a dessert girl through and through. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
GEEZ! These look mouthwatering!!!
I want your balls. Cheese balls, that is.
Jenn, perfect timing. I was looking for the crock pot cranberry sauce around my house last night and you posted it this morning! Thanks!!!
Jenn, This is an incredible list of recipes! Your pictures are so appealing, everything looks delicious!
Also, thanks for tagging my pumpkin bars!
Have a fabulous (and veggie filled) Thanksgiving 🙂
