Here are my 20+ vegetarian Thanksgiving recipes focusing on hearty textures, seasonal flavours, and harvest. Because meat-free Thanksgiving doesn’t mean sacrificing tradition, or grandeur.
Thanksgiving is about gratitude, gathering, and, of course, a glorious feast. For the vegetarian host or the family welcoming meatless guests, crafting a spectacular menu yet fresh can be a fun challenge.
Here are few of my tips that might help you curating a memorable vegetarian Thanksgiving.
- Keep the appetizers light and easy to pick to save room for the main event, but make sure they offer a punch of flavor like a savoury cheese log decorated with sweet cranberries and herbs, creamy dip with crackers, or a comforting soup.
- The key to a successful vegetarian Thanksgiving is having a truly impressive, sliceable, and substantial centerpiece that anchors the meal.
- Thanksgiving sides are often naturally vegetarian, but we can elevate them with better ingredients and bold flavours.
- The sweet finish should honor tradition while catering to all.
