28 Delicious Vegan Thanksgiving Recipes for 2020 (2)

When it comes to thanksgiving, there are two types of vegans: 1) those who sit in the corner pathetically munching on a whole sweet potato while their omnivorous families enjoy a feast, or 2) those who take matters into their own hands and make phenomenal vegan recipes that everyone loves.

Let’s make sure you and your plant-based loved ones stay out of that first category, okay? To get you started off on the right foot this holiday season, here is a collection of 28 incredible vegan thanksgiving recipes from around the web:

    • Thanks, Magdalena! I will be making some of them too. The first two main dishes (risotto and quinoa stuffing) are staples that I bring every year, and I can’t wait to try more of them as well!

      … There’s going to be way too much food at my family’s Thanksgiving this year :p

  2. Andrew,
    You have truly outdone yourself this time! So many options, it’s a feast just thinking about it. Everything looks so delicious, I will be working my way through your list of recipes starting this weekend.

  3. These look like fantastic & incredibly delicious recipes! I’m really impressed that your Thanksgiving menu options are filled with other people’s recipes! Kudos to you for being so humble & just in happily sharing other people’s amazing delights along with your own! I’m happily bookmarking many of these recipes & quite a few new-to-me blogs! Thanks!

    • Ah, you gotta spread the love – it IS Thanksgiving, right? 🙂

  4. Wow, these look AMAZING! If someone filled my festivities with all these scrumptious looking dishes and treats, I’d be one very happy girl 😀

    • Thanks Sharon! I think if someone filled my holiday with ALL these dishes, I’d be one happy (and stuffed) boy as well 😀

  5. Thank you for featuring my recipe amongst all of these incredible ones, on your list! 🙂

    • Hey Jackie, of course! If anyone deserves to be in the list, it’s you! I can’t wait to meet up sometime… we seem to keep missing each other at local potlucks and meet ups, like Kylie’s on Tuesday, which I couldn’t make. Someday soon, I’m sure! 🙂

  6. The quinoa stuffing was awesome!!! I used one yam. one sweet potato, one parsnip and a piece of squash. The family loved it.

    Reply

    • That’s great, Angela! It’s one of my favorites, but sadly, I didn’t make that one this year… I had too much else to make. Maybe Christmas! 🙂

  7. Thanks for organizing all of these great vegan Thanksgiving ideas. I love the meatloaf, hot pumpkin drink, and well actually most of them look good.

    Reply

  8. Awesome list! 🙂 Just wanted to say that the quinoa stuffing recipe is now at a new URL and the old link is broken–I had to find it cause it looks delicious so I went searching. Her website is now called thewholetara (dot) com

  9. Thanks for these. I’ve got my old standby’s that I use for holidays, but am always ready to try something new.

  10. Looks amazing! Definitely going to try many of these recipes!

  11. Thanks for the recipe my son and wife are vegan and are coming over for Thanksgiving. I will surprise him with some your recipes.

    Reply

    • That’s so cool! I’m sure they will love that 🙂

  12. Hey there! Thank you so much for including a Nutrition Stripped recipe — hope you love those carrots! Happy Thanksgiving – McKel

    Reply

    • Hey McKel, good to hear from you! You’re very welcome. Wow, I posted this roundup (and you posted the carrots) over 5 years ago. Time flies, huh? 🙂

      Reply

  13. Hi! Thank you for posting these great recipes! All of them sound sooo yummy! I’m a vegan who loves cooking. Two days ago I made no-bake pumpkin tarts and they were really amazing!

  14. These are some great recipes, although I was hoping for an oil free biscuit recipe. I’ve seen ones with coconut milk.

    Reply

    • Ah, I know. I have a drop biscuit recipe too but it uses oil and I wish I could make one without but I think it’s practically impossible because it’s the oil/butter that gives biscuits their light, “biscuity” texture.
