13 Vegan Meatballs

Few comfort foods satisfy like a hearty bowl of spaghetti and meatballs. Now everyone can enjoy this comfort, sans meat! These chickpea-based meatballs pack tons of flavor, come together quickly, and even provide a good amount of protein and fiber.

Get the Vegan Meatballs recipe.

14 Vegan Charred Lemon-Asparagus Risotto

Get the Tempeh Buffalo “Wings” recipe.

17 Fluffy Vegan Pancakes

Fluffy vegan pancakes are 100% possible. And trust us, you won't miss milk, butter, or eggs. These are the ingredients that make all the difference: non-dairy milk, baking powder, and coconut oil. (Bonus: Its high smoke point means you're less likely to burn that first pancake, woohoo!)

Get the Fluffy Vegan Pancakes recipe.

18 Vegan Sugar Cookies

Soft, buttery, with crispy edges, these are the classic, quintessential sugar cookie, veganized and ready to share with friends and family. Whether frosted, sprinkled, or eaten plain right out of the oven, you won't be able to get enough of them.

We like to keep a can of chickpeas in our pantry at all times, so this easy lunch sandwich is always only 5 minutes away.

Get the Chickpea "Tuna" Salad recipe.

20 Butternut Squash Curry

Butternut squash is toothsome and savory, kale is earthy and green, and coconut milk wraps everything together in a creamy sauce. The curry spice adds a little warm punch to each spoonful, while a squeeze of lime juice and fresh parsley brighten each bite, cutting out some of the richness. Sunflower seeds are a fun addition that adds a little crunch to your bite, but feel free to omit (or swap for something else!).

Get the Butternut Squash Curry recipe.

21 Vegan Pumpkin Pie

For most people, pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving is non-negotiable. We agree! This version is every bit as good as the classic, bursting with fall flavors and dolloped with ultra-silky homemade coconut whipped cream. Word to the vegans: This pie is so good, you might want to stash a slice to yourself before the whole fam gets to it. 😉

Get the Vegan Pumpkin Pie recipe.

22 Vegan Cheesecake

Topped with tart raspberries on top of an ultra-creamy middle, this cheesecake is downright magic. It's shockingly smooth, creamy, and rich. The secret? Soaked cashews!

Get the Vegan Cheesecake recipe.

23 Cashew Cream Alfredo

You CAN make an ultra-creamy, velvety smooth Alfredo sauce, sans dairy, thanks to cashews. Freshly cracked black pepper adds a little burst of heat, but feel free to add some red pepper flakes too. Top with parsley or basil to make it extra-special too.

Get the Cashew Cream Alfredo recipe.

24 Baked Falafel Sandwich

Although this shortcut isn't as crispy as the classic falafel, they develop a nice golden crust and contain all the key spices. A zippy roasted pepper salad is the perfect foil, and creamy tahini sauce ties it all together.

Get the Baked Falafel Sandwich recipe.

25 Toasted Sesame Oil Mashed Potatoes

Vegan mashed potatoes that are just as creamy and delicious as the real thing? You betcha! Toasted sesame oil adds tons of flavor and creaminess. Green onions and extra sesame seeds round them out for some of the best mashed potatoes we've ever made.

Get the Toasted Sesame Oil Mashed Potatoes recipe.

26 Thai-Inspired Grilled Cauliflower Steaks

Cauliflower steaks demand a place on your grill! And we found the perfect funky balance of sweet, sour, salty, and spicy in this Thai-inspired sauce to blanket them. Try the sauce and, if needed, balance it out to your taste with brown sugar for more sweetness, red pepper flakes for more heat, lime juice for more pucker, and salt.

Get the Thai-Inspired Grilled Cauliflower Steaks.

27 Air Fryer Vegan Chocolate Zucchini Birthday Cake

This cake has a lot of secrets: Zucchini keeps it super moist, instant espresso powder makes the chocolate taste more chocolatey, and apple cider vinegar helps add lift. You won't believe it's vegan!

Get the Air Fryer Vegan Chocolate Zucchini Birthday Cake recipe.

28 Air Fryer Cauliflower Tacos

To get extra crispy "fried" cauliflower, you gotta use your air fryer. This recipe is basically the vegan version of our favorite fish tacos. The finishing touch? A quick and easy pickled slaw for a bite of freshness and a spicy mayo for a touch of heat.

Get the Air Fryer Cauliflower Tacos recipe.

29 Vegan Chili

Sweet potato, black beans, pinto beans, and a whole bottle of beer (like Modelo) come together to make a super-hearty, meatless chili.

Get the Vegan Chili recipe.

30 Warm Tahini Ramen Noodles

This quick and satisfying meal lands somewhere between savory instant ramen and creamy peanut noodles. Throw in your favorite raw veggies for a dish that's healthy, filling, and delicious. (The trifecta!) For a little extra oomph, whisk in part of a ramen flavor packet little by little, tasting and adjusting along the way.

Get the Warm Tahini Ramen Noodles recipe.

31 Chipotle Vegan Queso

The infinitely versatile cashew does it again with this "cheesy" Tex-Mex dip that's hard to distinguish from the original. Make it yours: Swap the chipotle with your favorite salsa, a can of Ro-tel, or harissa for a slightly different flavor profile.

Get the Chipotle Vegan Queso recipe.

32 Vegan French Onion Stew

With complex flavor and toasts broiled with melty dairy-free cheese, this is just as good as the French classic. Hot tip: If you’re meal prepping, it’s best to melt your cheese on a sheet tray instead to avoid losing soggy pieces of bread in your leftovers.

Get the Vegan French Onion Stew recipe.

33 Toum

Garlic lovers, this is the condiment of your dreams. Toum is essentially aioli, but with garlic instead of egg. This makes it the perfect creamy addition to any vegan sandwich, but watch out—this stuff is POWERFUL (so only use a little).

Get the Toum recipe.

34 Tempeh & Broccoli Rabe Orecchiette

When comfort calls, don't ignore it. This pasta is packed with protein and flavor thanks to tempeh and a simple garlic-lemon sauce. It's simple enough for a weeknight dinner, but special enough to serve for date night too.

Get the Tempeh & Broccoli Rabe Orecchiette recipe.

35 Vegan Mushroom Gravy

Vegans and meat-eaters alike will be piling this flavor-packed gravy on top of all the Thanksgiving sides. This gravy comes together in minutes—and you won't miss roasting a whole turkey or chicken to make it.

Get the Vegan Mushroom Gravy recipe.

36 Whole Roasted Cabbage

This gorgeous, whole-roasted stunner is the perfect holiday substitute for vegans. It's savory, sweet, and salty on the outside and super-tender on the inside. Topped with lots of silky mushroom gravy, we doubt anyone at your table will be missing meat.

Get the Whole Roasted Cabbage recipe.

37 Eggplant Steak Frites with Chimichurris

The key to eggplant steak frites' success is to prep in the kitchen while the grill preheats. Also, make sure to prep the sauce so the meal can go directly from the grill to the table: Chimichurri sauce tastes even better as the flavors meld, so don’t be shy about making it in advance.

Get the Eggplant Steak Frites with Chimichurri recipe.

38 Chickpea Noodle Soup

This is an incredible vegan version of chicken noodle soup, made with chickpeas instead of chicken and orecchiette instead of egg noodles. Cooking the pasta in the soup will yield a velvety, substantial broth, but for a leftover-friendly version, boil the noodles separately so they don’t bloat in the broth over time.

Get the Chickpea Noodle Soup recipe.

39 Butternut Squash Potstickers

Making your own potstickers doesn't have to be complicated. These vegan potstickers are easy to put together and most of your time is spent roasting your squash until really tender, which can be done ahead of time. Crimping takes a little practice, but the good news is that even if they look a little wonky, they're still going to taste great!

Get the Butternut Squash Potstickers recipe.

40 Seitan Lomo Saltado

Lomo Saltado is a very popular Peruvian dish that takes aji amarillo (Peruvian chiles) and papas fritas (french fries) and prepares them in the style of a Cantonese stir fry. Though typically made using beef, we subbed in seitan (a wheat-based protein) to create a delish vegan meal.

Get the Seitan Lomo Saltado recipe.

41 Khichdi

The most basic version of this South Asian dish (also known as kitchari) is made up of just rice, a pulse (like mung beans or lentils), turmeric, and salt, but the variations are endlessly diverse. Our version adds warming spices and garlic, ginger, and tomato, but feel free to make it your own.

Get the Khichdi recipe.

42 BBQ Chickpea and Cauliflower Flatbreads with Avocado Mash

Crunchy, roasted chickpeas are the new crouton. You heard it here first, folks.

Get the BBQ Chickpea and Cauliflower Flatbreads With Avocado Mash recipe.

43 Smoky Vegan Black Bean Soup

This chunky soup is basically a veggie chili, so go ahead and load on the toppings.

Get the Smoky Vegan Black Bean Soup recipe.

Get the Tofu Marinade recipe.

45 Vegan Taco Salad

Our favorite taco salad got a vegan makeover. Filled with grains and two different types of beans, it's a filling salad worthy of your dinner table. The spicy avocado-chipotle dressing brings tons of flavor and is our favorite part. Top it will all of your favorites like cherry tomatoes and tortilla chips for a little crunch.

Get the Vegan Taco Salad recipe.

46 Vegan Mushroom Pot Pie

When it's cold out, a steaming hot pot pie filled with creamy, flavorful gravy, sweet and tender veggies, and topped with a shatteringly flaky crust is EVERYTHING. Here, mushrooms replace meat and are every bit as satisfying as their meaty counterparts.

Get the Vegan Mushroom Pot Pie recipe.

47 Sichuan-Style "Fish-Fragrant" Eggplant

Despite the name, there is no trace of fish in this delicious dish. Originating from the Sichuan province in China,  (yu xiang) describes a flavor profile that was originally used in preparing fish dishes from the region. Now these pickled chiles, fermented bean paste, green onions, garlic, ginger, and punchy spice blend are used to season vegetables, like this eggplant, too.

Get the Sichuan-Style "Fish-Fragrant" Eggplant recipe.

48 Thai Peanut Noodle Soup

Here, we’re using red Thai curry paste—one of our favorite pantry staples—to create a fast, flavorful peanut noodle soup in no time flat. With a creamy coconut peanut broth, crisp vegetables, and a shower of fresh herbs, this Thai-inspired noodle soup will become one of your new favorite weeknight dinners.

Get the Thai Peanut Noodle Soup recipe.

49 Vegan Green Bean Casserole

Plant-based eaters don't have to miss out on classic green bean casserole, thanks to this simple recipe. We're super into the onion topping on this casserole—it's SO much better than the fried ones that come in a can. Because this casserole is less heavy, you can also enjoy it all season long (and not just on Thanksgiving!).

Get the Vegan Green Bean Casserole recipe.

50 Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies

The idea that vegan desserts can't be delicious is a total myth. These cookies are dangerous—a bit crisp on the edges and pleasantly chewy in the centers. They're good enough to prove any naysayer wrong.

Get the Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe.

51 Vinegar Coleslaw

To make this a truly vegan-friendly slaw, there is neither mayonnaise nor honey in the mix. We use maple to bring out the veggies’ natural sweetness and Dijon mustard helps emulsify the oil and vinegar while adding a bit of a kick in the back of your throat.

Get the Vinegar Coleslaw recipe.

52 Coconut Ice Cream

This coconut ice cream is no joke. Not only is it dairy-free but it's completely vegan, too. It's ultra-creamy with a sweet coconut flavor that only gets better topped with toasted coconut. We love it with the real vanilla bean, but you can easily use an additional teaspoon of vanilla extract if you don't have any.

Get the Coconut Ice Cream recipe.

53 Easy Vegan Stuffing

Because of the butter, eggs and chicken broth that usually go into classic stuffing, it's a dish that vegans can't always enjoy—until now! For the best results, use a quality, hearty loaf of bread and a nice olive oil.

Get the Easy Vegan Stuffing recipe.

54 Tofu Stir-Fry

For best results in this stir fry, use extra-firm tofu that has been frozen so it can absorb flavors more readily, and simmer the tofu in salted water briefly to make it hardier and less likely to crumble when jostled in the pan. Otherwise, the sky's the limit, so add your favorite veggies!

Get the Tofu Stir-Fry recipe.

55 Vegan Clam Chowder

Whether you call it chowder or “chowda,” we think this rich and warming vegan soup does the classic New England version justice. It’s creamy without the cream, briny without the clams, and has a high ratio of mushrooms to potato chunks for a bit of chew and texture in each bite.

Get the Vegan Clam Chowder recipe.

56 Thai Red Curry Coconut Noodles

These vegan noodles are perfect for super-hungry nights when you’re short on time. Feel free to swap in your favorite quick-cooking vegetables, and adjust the amount of curry paste to your spice preference. Make sure to keep stirring once your noodles are added, since they tend to stick to the bottom of the pot if left in one spot for too long.

Get the Thai Red Curry Coconut Noodles recipe.

57 Vegan Seared "Scallops" with Succotash

In a dish that brings summer vibes to the table no matter the season, king trumpet mushrooms mirror the sweet, delicate flavor of sea scallops. Nestled into a colorful and crisp corn and snap pea succotash, this date-night-worthy dinner is sure to impress.

Get the Vegan Seared "Scallops" with Succotash recipe.

58 Extra Lemony Seitan Piccata

Most piccata sauces use only lemon juice; we opt for whole pieces of the fruit to make use of every last bit of bright citrus flavor. After a simmer in a wine and broth jacuzzi, the lemon loses its sharp bitterness and becomes sweet and tender.

Get the Extra Lemony Seitan Piccata recipe.

59 Kung Pao Brussels Sprouts

Inspired by the popular Chinese takeout dish Kung Pao chicken, these saucy Brussels sprouts are dangerously delicious. If you want to up the spice level, feel free to add red chiles with the garlic.

Get the Kung Pao Brussels Sprouts recipe.

60 Miso Roasted Carrots

These sweet-savory carrots are topped with the most delicious mix of crunchy nuts and spices. We like pistachios and black and white sesame seeds, but feel free to swap in your favorites.

Get the Miso Roasted Carrots recipe.

61 Spicy Fried “Chicken” Sandwich

Crunchy, spicy, creamy, and tart—this "chicken" sammie is total bliss. We replicated spicy fried chicken with protein-packed tofu and added cornmeal to the batter for extra crunch. Don't skip the freezing step — it's what gives the tofu a more meat-like texture.

Get the Spicy Fried “Chicken” Sandwich recipe.

62 Chili Garlic Fried Cauliflower

This recipe was very loosely inspired by our Korean fried chicken wings, but nothing about this recipe is really traditional at all. The cauliflower florets are battered in a tempura-like batter, which does aid in a wing-like crispy coating, but you're still going to want to eat these right away—the crunch factor diminishes quickly!

Get the Chili Garlic Fried Cauliflower recipe.

63 Cauliflower Steak

This cauliflower steak recipe excels in all categories, making it one of our new favorites for Meatless Mondays. Don't sleep on the chopped olive sauce, it's SO delicious.

Get the Cauliflower Steak recipe.

64 Jerk Tofu Grain Bowls

This vegan recipe is a bit of a culinary road trip through some Jamaican staples: sweet plantains, aromatic rice and peas, and tofu in a jerk marinade. To add a touch of crunch, acidity, and color we top it all off with a simple red cabbage and carrot slaw that is just as delicious on its own as it is in the bowls (make extra and put it on everything).

Get the Jerk Tofu Grain Bowls recipe.

65 Vegan Chili Dog

We have to be honest, these meatless chili dogs might be better than the meat-full version. Sure it's hard to replicate the snap of a true hot dog with plant-based ingredients, but this complex chili is truly world-changing. You're going to want to put it on way more than just veggie dogs. We see chili mac, tamale pie, and plenty of chili fries in your future.

Get the Vegan Chili Dog recipe.

66 BBQ Tofu

Who needs meat? BBQ tofu isn't just for vegetarians and vegans. Be sure to serve the tofu with more of the spicy BBQ sauce on the side, and it will compete with all your classics like brisket, short ribs, and chicken.

Get the BBQ Tofu recipe.

67 Baked Tempeh with Peanut Sauce

Looking for an easy vegetarian or even vegan meal? Look no further! This baked tempeh is coated in an easy peanut sauce that doubles as a marinade. As the tempeh bakes it gets so crispy and flavorful, perfect for serving alongside roasted broccoli and white rice for a quick dinner.

Get the Baked Tempeh with Peanut Sauce recipe.

68 BQ Tempeh Sandwiches

The grill adds subtle smoky, almost bacon-like flavor to these tempeh steaks, but there's no meat in sight. Add a whiskey-infused homemade barbecue sauce, a cooling, creamy coleslaw and a toasted bun for the perfect summer sandwich.

Get the BBQ Tempeh Sandwiches recipe.

69 Mushroom “Calamari” with Spicy Marinara

Umami-rich oyster mushrooms are lightly battered and fried for this squid-free take on a seafood favorite. You can use other mushroom varieties, but the delicate “petals” of the oyster mushrooms get especially crispy.

Get the Mushroom “Calamari” with Spicy Marinara recipe.

70 Vegan Chipotle Lentil Tacos

These vegan tacos are loaded with bright flavors and a variety of textures—just like any good taco should be! Serve them up with some frozen margaritas and homemade guacamole for the full Taco Tuesday experience.

Get the Vegan Chipotle Lentil Tacos recipe.

71 Chipotle Tofu & Pineapple Skewers

Tofu is so much more than a meat substitute, it’s a protein source that stands on its own, and the perfect base to soak up tasty sauces, like this chipotle and guajillo chile marinade inspired by a popular Mexican street food, tacos al pastor.

Get the Chipotle Tofu & Pineapple Skewers recipe.

72 Cinnamon Sugar Vegan Donuts

Donuts...that are delicious and vegan?! Believe it. We love the classic flavor of cinnamon sugar donuts, but you can totally make a non-dairy glaze for these too!

Get the Cinnamon Sugar Vegan Donuts recipe

73 Kimchi Tofu Stew

Inspired by Korean sundubu-jjigae, this tofu stew is a fast, easy meal that's still BIG on flavor. Both spicy and savory—thanks to a hefty dollop of gochujang (a fermented chili paste) and a mixture of fresh ginger, garlic, and scallions—it's an amazingly satisfying vegan meal.

Get the Kimchi Tofu Stew recipe.

74 Summer Rolls

Try a fun family dinner: Set up stations of veggies, sauces and rice paper, then let everyone make their own summer rolls.

Get the Summer Rolls recipe.

75 Chicken-Fried Mushrooms & Gravy

Meaty oyster mushrooms stand in for steak in our indulgent take on this Southern classic. Buttermilk is a must for fried chicken, so we made our own with almond milk and vinegar.

Get the Chicken-Fried Mushrooms & Gravy recipe.

76 Vegan Shepherd's Pie

This meatless, dairy-free take on shepherd's pie is packed with veggies (mushrooms! celery! butternut squash! parsnips!) and loaded with flavor. It's also incredibly hearty, thanks to lentils.

Get the Vegan Shepherd's Pie recipe.

77 Tofu Bahn Mi

In this meat-free Vietnamese classic, the pressed tofu will marinade twice: once quickly before cooking so it doesn’t soak up too much liquid and again after it’s cooked, to flavor it through. A French baguette will do the job, but getting your hands on an airier, lighter, thin-and-crisp-crusted Vietnamese baguette is the ultimate.

Get the Tofu Bahn Mi recipe.

78 BBQ Braised Kale

Inspired by the delicious smoky greens that often come with a good barbecue brisket platter, this kale is a little spicy, a little tangy, equal parts sweet and salty. It's a flavorful side dish you can whip up any time, for vegans and meat lovers alike!

Get the BBQ Braised Kale recipe.

79 Vegan Ramen

This completely vegan version uses layers of umami-packed flavor to mimic the depth complexity of traditional ramen, and edamame for a protein boost. Feel free to swap in some of your favorite veggies, but don't skip the salty soy sauce balanced with sweet, tangy mirin. It helps round out this warm earthy, slurp-worthy noodle bowl.

Get the Vegan Ramen recipe.

80 Eggplant "Bacon"

Vegans rejoice! All you need is olive oil, soy sauce, maple syrup, paprika, and liquid smoke to turn eggplant into a surprisingly satisfying bacon copycat.

Get the Eggplant "Bacon" recipe.

81 Baked Tofu

Use baking powder if you want crispy baked tofu! Cornstarch alone will not do the job. Because your tofu is still moist, cornstarch will gel into a slurry once it comes in contact with each piece, and this slurry will create only a soft crust during the bake. Baking powder, on the other hand, will react with heat in the oven and moisture in the slurry to create tiny bubbles that will crisp up this crust.

Get the Baked Tofu recipe.

82 Veggie Paella (Paella Verdura)

This veggie-packed paella comes together in under an hour, and, even better, most of the cooking happens in the oven. Briefly returning the skillet to the stovetop after baking is the key to achieving a crispy rice crust on the bottom, often referred to as socarrat (meaning “burnt” in Catalan).

Get the Veggie Paella (Paella Verdura) recipe.

83 Balsamic-Glazed Roasted Cauliflower

A whole roasted cauliflower makes for a fantastic vegan main dish. This one is roasted around extra veggies and has a slightly sweet balsamic glaze over it. It's easy to throw together and will leave you feeling full, not heavy. Win!

Get the Balsamic-Glazed Roasted Cauliflower recipe.

84 Vegan Lasagna

Tofu replaces ricotta in this vegan version of classic lasagna. Add that to a béchamel-inspired white sauce, and you've got a vegan dinner that won't make you feel at all deprived.

Get the Vegan Lasagna recipe.

85 Vegan Banana Bread

This vegan banana bread is big on banana flavor, super moist, and just sweet enough. If you're looking to add some substance, coconut flakes, toasted chopped nuts, and dried cherries are some of our favorite mix-ins.

Get the Vegan Banana Bread recipe.

86 Coconut Ranch Kale Salad

This vegan coconut ranch is absolutely irresistible. (Seriously, you'll want to dip everything in it.) But the crunchy roasted chickpeas may just be our favorite part. Who needs croutons?

Get the Coconut Ranch Kale Salad recipe.

87 Caramelized Tofu Lettuce Wraps

Inspired by our caramelized beef with rice, this simple tofu recipe is big on flavor and perfect for even the most reluctant of tofu eaters. Sweet, sour, and salty, these lettuce wraps are ripe for improvisation and can be served with all sorts of accompaniments, so get creative with your favorites.

Get the Caramelized Tofu Lettuce Wraps recipe.

88 Polenta with Wild Mushroom Ragu

Make this showstopper with a custom blend of your favorite funghi! If wild mushrooms are not accessible, creminis or button mushrooms would also work perfectly. If serving for a dinner party or event, the ragu can be made up to three days in advance; just reheat gently on the stovetop while you make the polenta.

Get the Polenta with Wild Mushroom Ragu recipe.

89 Air Fryer Tofu

To get crispy tofu, you'd typically need to heat up a bunch of oil, and worry about overcooking or a messy cleanup. But the air fryer makes getting perfect golden brown tofu a cinch.

Get the Air Fryer Tofu recipe.

90 Ultimate Veggie Sandwich

There's something so special and refreshing about a sandwich that is absolutely packed to the gills with veggies. The miso eggplant in here makes this one extra special.

Get the Ultimate Veggie Sandwich recipe.

91 Vegan Sweet Potato Curry

We went for ease with this vegan curry, so it can be whipped up in under an hour for a fuss-free weeknight dinner. It's by no means a "traditional curry," so feel free to swap in and out your favorite veggies, and to use whatever curry paste you can find/prefer (check out our note for tips on choosing!).

Get the Vegan Sweet Potato Curry recipe.

92 Vegan Mashed Potatoes

Amazing, creamy mashed potatoes are still possible while being completely dairy-free and vegan, and these are here to prove it!

Get the Vegan Mashed Potatoes recipe.

93 Herby Baked Falafel Bites with Spicy Mint Tahini Dip

Pistachios, mint, cilantro, dill, and parsley combine to turn these bright green! Bonus: these these falafel are baked, not fried, for less mess.

Get the Herby Baked Falafel Bites with Spicy Mint Tahini Dip recipe.

94 Vegan Tortilla Soup

We’re piling on the flavor here, because "vegan" doesn't mean missing out on any of the fun! There's three kinds of chili peppers, three kinds of canned tomatoes, hominy for chew, creamy black beans for protein, a medley of spices, all topped with a wondrous assortment of toppings: fried tortillas, raw onions and radish slices, rich avocado, and a squidge of lime juice to brighten it all up a notch.

Get the Vegan Tortilla Soup recipe.

95 Grilled Tofu

Miso and soy sauce are both high in umami (unlike tofu, their similarly soy-based friend), meaning they infuse the tofu here with savory depth. Once you've marinated the tofu, it takes less than 15 minutes to grill the planks, during which you can make the garlicky ginger-scallion sauce.

Get the Grilled Tofu recipe.

96 Vegan Sweet Potato Pie

This sweet potato pie is extremely good, thanks to an oat pecan crust and a creamy, spiced filling. Look for vegan marshmallows to top it, or keep it simple with your own vegan whipped topping using coconut cream.
