What is it about fall that’s so alluring? Is it the weather and the leaves changing? That back-to-school, anything-is-possible energy? Some of the best holidays of the whole year (we’re looking at you, Halloween)? For us, it might just be the return of all our comforting, cozy foods, like soups, casseroles, and more. Though cheese and meat can reign supreme in those, we’re here to tell you, those cozy vibes are accessible even if you’re eating a plant-based or vegan diet. Check out our 30 vegan fall recipes for proof!
Vegans are known for eating a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, and fall has some of the best options of the whole year. One of our favorite ways to feature them is in a vegan curry, like our sweet potato, pumpkin, or butternut squash versions; paired with noodles, like in our Thai peanut noodle soup or our vegan ramen; or as the surprise star of a dish, like in our Sichuan-style “fish-fragrant” eggplant or our butternut squash potstickers. Fall produce is also great in a number of soups, and it usually only takes a few minor swaps to make them vegan. Check out our curried butternut squash soup or our carrot ginger soup for some plant-based inspiration, then try adding in everything from parsnips to apples into any recipe you like.
Comfort food is comfort food no matter what type of diet you follow, and there are a few staples we always crave when the weather starts to get cold. Lucky for you, we’ve got vegan recipes for them ALL here, like our vegan macaroni & cheese, our vegan mushroom pot pie, our vegan shepherd’s pie, or our vegan mashed potatoes for ideas. They’ll have you feeling all cozy in no time.
Speaking of mashed potatoes, just because you’re eating a vegan diet doesn’t mean you have to miss out on all the Thanksgiving classics this fall. We’ve got all the hits, like vegan green bean casserole, vegan stuffing, and vegan mushroom gravy. Check out our favorite vegan Thanksgiving recipes here too—they’re so full of flavor, your holiday guests might just like them better than the turkey.
