Do you have vegan guests coming to dinner this year? Step one: Don't panic. Step two: Choose from our collection of mouthwatering vegan Thanksgiving recipes, from appetizers to sides to mains and desserts.

Whether you serve it as an appetizer or a side at your vegan Thanksgiving feast, this crispy, crunchy on the outside but soft within potato and Brussels sprout pancake is a winner.

This is a delightful yet unusual combination of textures and flavors—roasted beets alongside juicy persimmon, bitter endive, and sweet citrus fruits that run the gamut from sour grapefruit to sugary Cara Cara oranges.

A creamy (but dairy free) sauce made with garlic, onion, coconut milk, and red curry paste envelopes hunks of sweet potato, cauliflower, baby spinach, edamame, and zucchini in this colorful vegan main.
Acorn squash slices are made extra special with the addition of crunchy sesame and cumin seeds and additional ground spices. Roast till soft and caramelized.
A hearty dish with a color palette so right for the Thanksgiving table. The secret weapon in this warm salad is shiro miso, the fermented soy paste that seems made for honeyed quality of roast carrots.
Broccoli rabe's mineral depth adds complexity to a warming lentil soup spiced with fragrant cumin, toasted coriander, and a last-minute dash of red wine vinegar.
Most cranberry sauce recipes are vegan. This mouth-watering chutney can be made in a large batch and packed into jars for gifts. Enjoy it with roasted squash , stuffed onions, sweet potatoes, carrots, or parsnips.
Everyone loves a hearty salad. This one leans heavily on the oven for roasting squash, apples, and onions, then serving on top of a bed of watercress with toasted walnuts.
Pears have a firm flesh that holds up well to poaching. They take on a wonderful flavor when simmered in cinnamon- and allspice-scented apple cider. Serve with vegan ice cream or sorbet or whipped coconut cream.
