Thanksgiving is a great time to sit with your family and eat some good food. But, as a vegetarian, it can also be difficult to find food that I can eat. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to just have a plate of mashed potatoes and green beans! They are both delicious, but personally, I need some protein and other dishes in order to fully enjoy myself. In the past few years, I have gotten creative with certain recipes in order to ensure that they are vegetarian and delicious. I know that some people have a hard time coming up with recipes on their own and find it easier to follow pre-written recipes with exact measurements. Sometimes, I prefer to do that when I am cooking as well! I have provided a list of Thanksgiving ideas that are vegetarian, (some) healthy, and delicious! All of these come from the website Delish, and I will provide the link to the article below!

  • Baked Goat Cheese with Caramelized Onions
  • Baked Pumpkin Risotto
  • Brussels Sprout Salad
  • Butternut Squash Mac and Cheese
  • Butternut Squash Soup
  • Caramelized Brussel Sprouts
  • Cranberry Brie Bites
  • Garlic-Parmesan Roasted Carrots
  • Harvest Caesar Salad
  • Mashed Potato Casserole
  • Mashed Potatoes w/ Vegetarian Gravy
  • Million Dollar Mac and Cheese
  • Parmesan Roasted Green Beans
  • Roasted Sweet Potatoes
  • Spinach Puffs
  • Stuffed Mushrooms
  • Sweet Potato Gratin
  • Sweet Potato Salad

If any of these dishes sound delicious to you, check out the recipes on the website! There are sixty-one total on the website, but I highlighted a few that I personally would eat. Have a great Thanksgiving!
