For a lot of people, holiday meals pivot around a meaty main course like roast chicken, turkey or ham. But vegetables can be swoon-worthy, too! Whether you're a vegetarian or you're hosting one this holiday season, these vegetarian holiday dishes will knock anyone's socks off.
Mushroom Wellington
If you've ever had Beef Wellington, this is its delicious vegan cousin! This dish is a showstopper and makes a delightful main course on any holiday table. Mushrooms and pecans are tucked into a golden, flaky pastry crust. It’s pretty easy to whip up as it's made with store-bought puff pastry (available vegan or vegetarian). It feeds a crowd and can be made ahead.
Veggie pot pie
Chicken pot pie is a classic holiday comfort food dish, but this veggie pot pie will make you wonder why you ever bothered including chicken in the first place. Delicious veggies like cauliflower, carrots and peas take a bath in a rich and creamy white gravy and get baked into store-bought pie crust. The results are irresistible.
Stuffed butternut squash
If you really want to wow your dinner guests this holiday season, this stuffed butternut squash will do the trick. It's loaded with a wild rice pilaf, cranberry orange sauce, glazed onions and sautéed mushrooms for an over the top, slice-and-serve masterpiece that's super colourful and delicious.
Peppermint cream pie
If you're looking for an allergy-friendly dessert that feeds a crowd, this impressive Peppermint cream pie will do the trick! It's vegan, gluten free and so festive and delicious. It's a chocolate cookie crust filled with a pink creamy coconut peppermint custard and topped with luscious coconut whipped cream. What's not to love?
