Now onto the good stuff…

This Thanksgiving menu is meant to be mix-and-match. You can make some of it, you can make only one dish, or you can make it all. It’s totally up to you!

I’ve broken it down into individual recipes with notes on how to adjust each one for a plant-based menu! You can just click on the recipe link and it will take you to the full blog post for that dish. I hope you enjoy, and let me know what you think!

***For a vegan modification, I recommend omitting the ricotta or substituting in a vegan ricotta version.

Crispy Brussel Sprouts with Cranberry Soy Glaze

If you don't think you like cranberry sauce, these brussel sprouts might change your mind. They are tangy, crispy and sweet, and the perfect fall side dish.

Butternut Squash Mac n’ Cheese

Crispy Sage Tofu

If you are looking for what to make on Thanksgiving for the vegans and vegetarians in your life – this shallow fried crispy sage tofu is it. It tastes like fall, crisps up perfectly, uses none of your precious oven space, plus it will even make some turkey eaters a little bit jealous 😉

Red Wine & Chocolate Galette

This red wine & chocolate galette is the older, more sophisticated version of chocolate chip bourbon pecan pie. It's a holiday classic but with a twist. Super easy to whip up for any gathering or dinner party!
