If you're looking for vegetarian Thanksgiving recipes, you've come to the right place! I've assembled a collection of my best meatless dishes for your holiday table.
Can you believe that Thanksgiving is just around the corner? I'm hosting Thanksgiving at my house this year and I always start planning my menu in advance.
I like to plan a diverse menu with a wide variety of dishes. I always keep some traditional favorites on the menu but I also like to mix things up and add some new dishes every year.
It's also important to have some make-ahead dishes on the menu that can be prepped in advance. That way I'm not trying to cook everything at the last minute on the big day.
This year I have some vegetarian friends and family coming over so I have to make sure that I've got plenty of meat-free options. The good news is that besides the turkey, almost everything else on my menu is meatless. If you set out a good variety of appetizers, side dishes, and desserts, no one will even miss the turkey!
I've assembled a collection of my very best vegetarian Thanksgiving recipes for your holiday table below. I hope you try some of them out. Happy Thanksgiving!
