20 of the very BEST vegan recipes to impress the biggest of carnivores out there. Tried and Tested recipes that are loved by vegans and non-vegans alike!
I often get asked ‘what can I cook for meat-eaters and vegetarians?’
I get it. There are some people out there who consider vegan food to be for birds, un-appetizing, or too complicated to try.
Before I started trying out vegan recipes, I too, fell into that camp.
I was resistant to try foods without some form of dairy or meat in it, and the closest thing to a vegan breakfast was oatmeal or a smoothie.
These days, my palettes have expanded and I LOVE trying, creating, and sharing vegan recipes. There is so much variety, so much deliciousness, you won’t miss the meat at all.

Cauliflower is so good, an so much more versatile than most people believe. I know I couldn’t go vegan if only for the beans–NO BUENO
Seriously, I could live off cauliflower….and ice cream.
I absolutely don’t doubt that vegan meals can taste awesome – I mean what’s wrong with veggies, legumes, creamy avocado dressings… but to be honest, I wouldn’t go vegan for more than a day because it just doesn’t provide enough protein for me! It’s a highly debated topic but in order to keep my muscle, I need the protein and lots of it. That’s my opinion and nobody is going to convert me 😉 I should incorporate more veggie/vegan days though at least for environmental reasons 😉
Check out plant built, vegan gym girls and just google vegan bodybuilding. Ridiculous to use muscle and protein as an excuse.
Right? I find that I really enjoy protein and would need a tonne of tofu to make up for it!
Fabulous post Arman! Thank you for including my spicy chickpea lettuce wraps. 🙂 You’ve proven that vegan food is delicious, healthy, versatile, and awesome.
Of course! I have so many of yours bookmarked for the upcoming ones- You seriously leave me craving something fresh and delicious and…vegan!
That’s so nice of you to say. Thank you!
Obviously I’m not vegan but all this looks delicious. I couldn’t do vegan most likely due to my stomach but think it can be just a tasty as anything.
Lol Michele, bacon stocks would go down if you went vegan!
This is a great roundup! I’ll have to try and sneak these into my husband Michael’s diet..he doesn’t believe a meal is actually food sans meat!
Oh God I had the same mindset growing up!
I see one of Mike’s beauties hiding in there…I’m pretty sure I could just live in the fridge at Mike’s place and eat all of his leftovers. Of course, he’d probably not leave me any leftovers…he’s rude like that. But seriously, these look delicious! I’m not opposed to eating a vegan diet, but it’s also not tops on my priority list. Kudos to you for taking on the challenge! Is Vegemite vegan? 😉
Right? But then again, if he’s a smart (paleo) cookie, he wouldn’t have any leftovers and scoff them all up 😉
URGH. I don’t think it is.
What’s not Vegan about Vegemite? I’m Vegan and have been eating it ever since I ‘turned’…?
I would only go vegan if my doctor made me. I love eggs and seafood too much! and Greek yogurt, too! I could give up cheese and meat, though. That curried eggplant looks mouthwatering.
How good does it look, right?!
Thanks for including me in this delicious round up, Arman! So many tasty recipes here!
Anytime, Kelly!
The tofu ricotta and sweet potato burgers sound amazing!
So good, right?!
While my eating habits are definitely more T-Rex, it is nice to sometimes go without any animal products…certainly nicer on the ol’ grocery bill. Thanks for the links – there’s quite a few that I can’t wait to try out. Those sweet potato burgers?! Drool.
No worries buddy! My inner bacon was even MIA for a tad 😉
Thanks so much for including my recipe Arman! And wow, among so many amazing eats!
Oh God. Alia, I’ve got four more of yours for the upcoming series….Still not enough!
I’m so honored!!
Cauliflower really is a god. I actually have a post coming out about it tomorrow. I know you will love it.
These recipes look amazing.
Oh I loved it alright 😉
Of course, I LOVE this post! So many delicious recipes – bookmarking all of them!
🙂 Thanks P chicken.
I think it’s really super duper awesome that you’ve tried so many different ways of eating. Maybe I should just throw in the towel and be paleo for a month. OK MAYBE NOT. Thanks for including my recipe, friend!!
If you did that, the chickpea stocks would go down forever.
Awesome round up Arman, I’ve already pinned this because they are all irresistible!! Thanks for sharing – Now the real questions, which one should I make first
Thanks Sam! How good are they!
