Make these delicious, beautiful, super-satisfying vegan Thanksgiving recipes for any vegetarians, vegans, or plant-based guests at your table. (And for anyone with a wheat allergy, you can make most of these gluten-free just by switching out the flour.) Then watch everyone else dig in since these will be the most popular dishes at the gathering. Chocolate Vegan Pecan Pie anyone? No need to mention it's dairy-free.

This Thanksgiving, make your menu one that is full of vegan dishes that everyone will love and come back for seconds. No one will even know that these are vegan recipes, because they are so rich in flavor – with all the traditional seasonings and richness, of regular recipes – except these are dairy-free, egg-free, and made without any animal products – who says you need turkey to be thankful and satisfied? Not us. These 50 recipes (plus a host of cocktails to add to the mix) include vegan sides, vegan mains, dairy-free desserts, and plenty more.

You don't have to be vegan or even plant-based to enjoy meatless, dairy-free Thanksgiving options. These incredible plant-based Thanksgiving recipes will elevate your holiday menu and please whatever sized crowd you have while nourishing everyone with better-for-you ingredients that taste absolutely amazing.

Vegan Thanksgiving Side Dishes

The key to a successful Thanksgiving menu lies in the sides – the devil is absolutely in the (dairy-free) details. After all, without a rich gravy, hearty stuffing, and a classic green bean casserole, your main dishes aren't as memorable. We don't want to take your Great Aunt's sweet potato casserole away from you – we just want to show you how easy it is to swap animal-based ingredients for plants and create new, healthier traditions.

Vegan Thanksgiving Desserts

There's no better way to close a feast than with decadent desserts, and without any dairy, these treats are both delicious and better for you. Stick to a classic like pie, or try something new by making a baked apple, topped with plant-based ice cream, of course. You can modify an existing recipe by checking out our guide to egg replacers.

Vegan Thanksgiving Cocktails

You probably assume that all alcohol is vegan, but that is not the case – since many alcohol brands use animal products in the filtration and fining processes. Check out our guide to choosing healthy, vegan wine, or make these festive, delicious holiday cocktails.
