1. Butternut Pecan Sweet Potato Casserole

“I think your Aunt Sally would still be proud if you brought this to the dinner table, even though it’s hippie-approved” – Minimalist Baker

2. Brussels Sprouts With Satay Sauce

“No soggy green mush here – the combination of spicy nutty sauce over slightly crunchy sprouts should convert even the most fervent sproutophobe.” – Vegan Recipe Club

3. Pumpkin Gnocchi in Spiced Butter Sauce with Lemon Cashew Cream

“Serve your guests a dish that looks and sounds gourmet but is really easy to make. This luscious homemade Pumpkin Gnocchi is blanketed in richly spiced vegan butter sauce and then served with a lemon cashew cream. They’ll think you worked away in the kitchen all day. Let them.” – One Green Planet

4. Chestnut Cranberry Stuffing Balls

“Every roast dinner needs some nice stuffing.” – BOSH!

5. Glazed Beets & Baby Rainbow Carrots

“Christmas vegetable side dishes that are packed full of incredible flavours. They are also really simple to make.” – Gaz Oakley

6. Traditional Vegetable Walnut Stuffing

“The walnuts, nutritional yeast and mushrooms create a seriously robust base. A touch of dried thyme and oregano (my favourite holiday herbs) adds a festive, holiday flavour. Ground flax seed helps bind the stuffing just enough!” – I Love Vegan

7. Vegan Sausage Rolls & Honey Dijon Dipping Sauce

“This recipe is great as a holiday finger food, but also doubles as a great snack that can be made well in advance, and heated up when you need a meal in a flash. Easy to make and easy to eat.” – The Edgy Veg

8. Okra With Chickpea Flour And Spices

“Bhindi Zunka (Okra cooked with chickpea flour and spices). Delicious, crispy okra that makes a great snack or appetizer.” – Vegan Richa

9. Creamy Kale And Spinach Dip

“It’s about that time for holiday parties galore, and for that, you need a dip! If I’m invited to your gathering, this is definitely the one I’m bringing.” – Minimalist Baker

10. Winter White Bean Minestrone

“A delicious addition to a holiday menu, this comforting white bean minestrone is full of vegetables and fresh herbs. Top with chopped roasted red peppers for a festive colour contrast.” – Forks over Knives

11. Vegan Mushroom Rolls

“This is my twist on classic sausage rolls, with a herby mushroom filling surrounded by golden puff pastry.” – Jamie Oliver

12. Pan Fried Brussels Sprouts With Tofu Bacon

“I’ve noticed that one of the most popular ways of preparing Brussels sprouts seems to be with bacon, so why not try a vegan version using tofu bacon?” – Natalie Tamara

13. Christmas Slaw

“A nutty winter salad which is superhealthy, quick to prepare and finished with a light maple syrup dressing.” – BBC Good Food

14. Stuffed Squash With Quinoa, Broccoli, Rosemary And Almonds

“The stuffing in this one is so flavourful, vibrant, and delicious. Plus it’s another easily made-ahead option.” – The First Mess

17. Herb And Nut Encrusted Cheese Log

18. Teriyaki Broccoli

“This broccoli recipe will change how you feel about one of the healthiest superfoods ever.” – Veganosity

19. Mashed Potato

“Amazing, creamy mashed potatoes are still possible while being completely dairy free and these are here to prove it!” – Delish
