I'm so excited to share my Gluten-Free Vegan Thanksgiving Menu with you!! I've been making variations on these recipes for about four years now, and my whole family loves them - the gluten-free vegans who eat like me (hi, sister!), and the "regular" eaters alike.
Being vegan (AND gluten-free, in my case) on Thanksgiving may feel like a difficult time, and some folks may feel left out - we NEVER want that to be the goal, and with these recipes, you won't be missing out at all. This collection of vegan thanksgiving recipes includes appetizers, main dishes, side dishes, sauces, and of course - lots of healthier desserts that are perfect for celebrating!
My goal on Thanksgiving is always to make the day as enjoyable as possible, and that usually means prepping a lot of the dishes ahead of time - at least as much as I can manage. Most of these recipes provide make-ahead options so you can just bake and serve on Thanksgiving day. I hope you have a wonderful and delicious Thanksgiving!!
