Veggies: The Star of Your Thanksgiving 🦃🥕🌱

A green menu for your feast

My favorite dishes at the Thanksgiving table are the sides. I’d be lying if I told you they were sweet potatoes with marshmallows or any of that creamy stuff. That’s not my jam. I love the veggies, from the dips at the start to salads and warm sides.

I often hear in the reader survey that you want to see veggie-packed meals, whether vegan, vegetarian, or gluten-free. So today I’m sharing a complete Thanksgiving menu where veggies are the star. All of today’s recipes are vegetarian, most vegan, and many are gluten-free. Use it as inspiration for new additions around your table or add all of them to your feast. They’re guaranteed to make bellies happy, whether you eat turkey or not.
