Warm, filling holiday side dish recipes such as vegan stuffing, macaroni and “cheese,” cranberry sauce, green bean casserole, and mashed potatoes and vegan gravy make beautiful and delicious additions to any menu. But what about the main dish? We’ve got you covered with these options.
Vegan Holiday Roast with Sage Stuffing
This stuffed roast resembles a store-bought Tofurky Roast, but your guests will appreciate the TLC you put into making this from scratch.
Cauliflower Steaks with Mushroom Gravy
There’s just something about cauliflower steak that looks gorgeous as a part of any meal. And bonus: It can be made gluten-free.
Maple-Sriracha Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Cranberry Wild Rice
While this recipe works as a main or side dish, the flavor combination of sweet, spicy, and savory will please any palate.
Shallot and Shiitake Seitan Wellington
Wellingtons are the best option for those who like texture. The meaty seitan is surrounded by savory duxelles, and it’s all wrapped in flaky phyllo dough.
Savory Stuffed Squash
Vegan sausage, chopped pieces of green apple, and walnuts steal the show in this recipe. It’s another dish that looks as delicious as it tastes.
Balsamic Roasted Beet and Rosemary Cashew Cheese Phyllo Tart
Beets add a bold color to this dish and to your dinner table.
Bulgur Walnut Loaf
The ingredients in this loaf make for a hearty main dish that’s healthful, too.
Seitan Roulade with Sage and Sweet Onion Stuffing
This recipe features a thick dough made from combining vital wheat gluten and veggie broth. The dough is then filled with stuffing, rolled up, and baked. Decadent and delicious!
Mushroom Duxelles and Spinach Phyllo Strudel
Another dish that can act as an appetizer or the main entrée, your guests will love this mushroom-filled flaky indulgence.
‘Beef’- and Orzo-Stuffed Peppers
Depending on the size of the pepper used, these can be perfect as appetizers or the main course.
Wild Mushroom Potato Pie
This recipe uses all the quintessential holiday ingredients—rosemary, sage, and thyme—yum!
Seitan à la Normandie
This dish’s key ingredient is the apple brandy (but apple juice concentrate works fine, too).
Cauliflower-Leek Tart with Port Glazed Figs
This beautiful tart uses a creamy cauliflower purée and is topped with sliced fresh figs.
‘Cheesy’ Pumpkin Ravioli
Anything with the words “vegan,” “pumpkin,” and” ravioli” is a winner in my book.
Seitan Mushroom Roast
Seitan is made from vital wheat gluten and is great when you’re in need of extra protein.
And if you’re not an expert in the kitchen, don’t worry!
