Happy November, friends!

With so much to be thankful for I want to honor this holiday the best way I know how: with food! Lots and lots of it.

I’ve rounded up 100 vegan Thanksgiving recipes to help you serve the most incredible plant-based holiday meal. I’ve broken down the round-up into 10 categories: Appetizers, Salads, Soups, Condiments, Bread, Vegetables, Stuffing, Potatoes & Yams, Main Dishes, and Desserts.

With recipes from my favorite bloggers, I am certain you’ll find everything you need to create the perfect plant-based holiday meal.

Vegan Thanksgiving Appetizers

Any good Thanksgiving meal should start with appetizers. When I think about Thanksgiving appetizers, I think about decadent dips and spreads, plant-based cheeses, and olive plates. Celebrate the harvest with these simple starters.

Here are a few of my favorite Thanksgiving appetizers.

Vegan Thanksgiving Salads

Thanksgiving is all about harvest and harvest starts with salad! Make sure to get your fresh greens this holiday season with spinach salads and kale salads topped with seasonal fruits and veggies, a variety of nuts, and the perfect homemade salad dressing.

Here are a few of my favorite Thanksgiving salads.

Vegan Thanksgiving Soups

When it comes to your Thanksgiving meal, you can’t forget about the soup! Soups are a great way to celebrate the harvest by adding a ton of vegetables. Purées, chilis, and bean soups all make great accompaniments to your Thanksgiving feast.

Here are a few of my favorite Thanksgiving soups.

Vegan Thanksgiving Condiments

No Thanksgiving meal is complete without your condiments. Make sure to fill your table with homemade cranberry sauce, vegan gravy, mushroom pate, and pumpkin butter.

Here are a few of my favorite Thanksgiving condiments.

Vegan Thanksgiving Breads

Perhaps the best part of any holiday meal is the bread! Warm homemade rolls, buttery biscuits, pumpkin muffins…so good! And of course, any complete table must have a loaf of sweet and gooey monkey bread.

Here are a few of my favorite Thanksgiving breads.

Vegan Thanksgiving Stuffings & Dressings

Who doesn’t love stuffing? Bread tossed with nuts, vegetables, and spices and baked together in perfect harmony. And the best part, these stuffing recipes are cooked without a turkey! Just fresh wholesome ingredients straight from the oven.

Here are a few of my favorite Thanksgiving stuffing and dressing recipes.

Harvest is all about the vegetables! Make sure to get your greens this holiday season with a variety of seasonal vegetables. Fill your table with Brussels sprouts, green beans, and roasted carrots. Learn how to roast any vegetable to add to your table this year.

Vegan Thanksgiving Potatoes & Yams

My favorite part of any holiday meal is the potatoes. And there are so many ways to serve them. Sweet potato casserole, classic mashed potatoes, or for a low carb option, mashed cauliflower “potatoes”. Wanna try something really impressive? Check out these Maple Pecan Hasselback Sweet Potatoes!

Here are a few of my favorite Thanksgiving potato recipes.

Vegan Thanksgiving Main Dishes

Now it’s time to chose our main dish! Once you skip the turkey, you’ll realize you don’t even miss it! Fill up on plant-based entrées instead. From lentil loaf to portobello steaks to stuffed acorn squash, there are endless vegan entrée options.

Here are a few of my favorite Thanksgiving entrées.

Vegan Thanksgiving Desserts

We’ve finally arrived at the best park. Thanksgiving dessert! From pies to cheesecakes to cobblers, there is something for everyone! No matter what else you eat, make sure to save room for dessert!
