Organic brown sugar, spices, and a splash of orange juice give these sweet potatoes a decadently sweet flavor. You can have them as a dessert with vegan coconut ice cream, a side dish, or a snack.

13. Vegan Brussels Sprouts
Sides
Brussels sprouts are often overlooked and many people shy away from them. But, not only are they high in fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, these sprouts are caramelized with balsamic vinegar with notes of fig, molasses, cherry, chocolate, or prune. No bacon needed!

14. Vegan Corn Casserole
Mains
Corn casserole is one of my all-time favorites and in my opinion, one of the easiest and fastest holiday dishes you can make. Not to mention it tastes great! It’s fluffy and slightly crunchy from the whole-kernel corn. Dairy-free yogurt and plant-based butter are used to make this vegan-approved!

This pumpkin butter is incredibly easy and better for you as it’s sweetened with coconut sugar and maple syrup. You can make it in the microwave or stovetop. Lasts up to 2 weeks.
See the recipe HERE
18. Vegan Sweet Potato Rolls
Sides
No Thanksgiving meal is complete with rolls. The best thing is you can freeze these to have whenever you want, or if you want to make your meals ahead of time. So, you could consider doubling or tripling the recipe so you’ll have plenty to pull from whenever you have company.

19. Vegan Butternut Squash Soup
Sides
Butternut squash is my go-to fall comfort soup. It’s good for weight loss and is so creamy and tasty. It’s also surprisingly filling from just one bowl. You could serve this for lunch and have the other meals for dinner or have it as an option for a minimal Thanksgiving.
See the recipe HERE
20. Vegan Pumpkin Soup
Sides
Another great soup option to go all in on fall vegetables. I think this soup would work well in an Instant Pot. And, an immersion blender will make your life a whole lot easier when cooking soups like this and many other recipes!

21. Vegan French Toast Breakfast Casserole
Breakfast
You can refrigerate this French Toast Casserole overnight and bake it the next morning to make things easy peasy. You’ll enjoy a touch of sweetness with your morning coffee. And, it’s something the whole family could enjoy!

22. Vegan Classic Pumpkin Pie
Desserts
I can’t imagine anyone not liking pumpkin pie. It’s one of those desserts that is not that sweet but it’s soft and chewy. Pair it with your favorite vegan ice cream or vegan whipped cream and you’ll be in heaven!

23. Vegan Pecan Pie Cheesecake
Desserts
This recipe looks absolutely amazing! Normally, there’s a process to making really good cheesecake, but this recipe only has a few steps, and waiting for it to come out of the freezer is the hardest part. If you love pecans, cashews, coconut milk, and oats, you’ll love this recipe!
See the recipe HERE
24. Vegan Pecan Pie
Desserts
This pecan pie has 1/4 of the sugar that a traditional pie has in it. There’s no corn syrup, which is great, and it’s gluten-free. It goes to show that creating healthy dishes doesn’t have to be hard at all.
See the recipe HERE
25. Vegan Apple Pie
Desserts
I’ve followed Martha Stewart for years, and I love her recipes, crafting, etc. This apple pie is made with natural cane sugar, but I think you could swap it for organic brown sugar if you wanted. The ingredients are minimal, and actually, apple pie is not as hard as other desserts. The longest part of it is peeling the apples, so you could get a helper to make it go a little faster.

26. Vegan Molten Chocolate Pie
Desserts
Lava cake combined with brownies? Yes, please! This is an alternative to the traditional chocolate cream pie. And, I wanted to add it to give you a little something different for any chocolate lovers at your Thanksgiving table this year.
See the recipe HERE
27. Vegan Sweet Potato Pie
Desserts
Sweet potato pie isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. But, for those of you who are, you’re going to love this recipe! Maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a tasty crust are a win-win!
See the recipe HERE
28. Vegan Rice Krispie Treats
Snacks
A recipe that kids can also enjoy. The difference is, it’s made with brown rice cereal, almond butter, and coconut oil. So, you’ll get fiber, protein, and healthy fats!
See the recipe HERE
29. Vegan Pumpkin Spice Latte
Drinks
You can’t go wrong with a good pumpkin spice latte. Like the Starbucks drink, but better. Actually, I find the Starbucks version a bit too sweet and sickly. This recipe is only sweetened with maple syrup. So, if you are sensitive to drinking too much sugar, you won’t have that problem with this latte!
See the recipe HERE
30. Vegan Mocktail Punch
Drinks
Of course, I had to include a punch drink for further celebrations, or even on Black Friday. This mocktail is friendly for those under 21 since there’s no alcohol in it and only has ginger beer. It’s definitely a fruity and warmingly spicy festive drink.
