Vegan and vegetarian dinners can be as delicious and varied as any other type of meal.

Here are some of our favorite vegan and vegetarian dinner recipes that are easy to make and packed with flavor.
Stir-Fry: Start by heating a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add some oil, then toss in your favorite vegetables, such as bell peppers, carrots, onions, mushrooms, and broccoli. Once the veggies start to soften, add a sauce of your choice. We love a classic teriyaki or soy sauce-based stir fry.
Curries: If you’re looking for something a bit heartier, curries are a great way to go. Start by sautéing your choice of vegetables in a pot with some oil and spices. Add a can of coconut milk and simmer until the vegetables are cooked through. Serve overcooked quinoa or rice for a complete meal.
Salads: For a light but filling dinner option, try making a big salad. Start by combining your favorite greens and other fresh vegetables. Toss in some nuts and seeds for crunch, then top with a homemade vinaigrette dressing. Serve with warm whole-grain bread or some crumbled feta cheese.
Pizza: For an easy weeknight meal, try making your vegan pizza. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread some store-bought pizza dough onto a baking sheet. Top with some tomato sauce and your favorite vegetables, then bake for about 15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
Pastas: There are so many delicious vegan pasta dishes that you can make in just minutes. Start by cooking your favorite noodles in a pot of salted water until al dente. Then, add your choice of sauces or seasonings, such as pesto or garlic and olive oil. For a heartier dish, try adding some cooked beans or tofu cubes.

Dessert
Whether you are vegan, vegetarian, or just looking to add some more plant-based recipes to your repertoire, there are plenty of delicious and easy desserts to choose from.
For a classic vegan dessert, try making vegan chocolate chip cookies. Start with vegan butter, sugar, and brown sugar in a bowl and mix until light and fluffy. Then add in vanilla extract, almond extract, and a flax egg before mixing in flour, baking soda, and salt. Once the dough is formed, stir in vegan chocolate chips and bake for 12-14 minutes at 350 degrees.
Vegan brownies are another classic treat that can easily be made vegan. Start by melting vegan butter in a saucepan and mix in cocoa powder and espresso powder. Whisk until the ingredients are combined and remove from heat. In a separate bowl, combine sugar and non-dairy milk and mix before adding to the butter and cocoa powder mixture. Add in flour, salt, and vegan chocolate chips before stirring everything together and transferring to a greased baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes until the edges are crispy.
Vegan cheesecake is another delicious dessert that can be made vegan. Start by combining graham cracker crumbs with melted vegan butter in a bowl and pressing the mixture into a greased pan. Make sure to leave a few inches on the sides of the pan so that it will hold together when it’s time to slice. In a separate bowl, mix cream cheese, sugar, and lemon juice until light and fluffy before adding vegan sour cream and cornstarch. Once everything is mixed, pour the mixture onto the graham cracker crust and bake for 45-50 minutes at 350 degrees. Let cool before serving.
If you’re looking for a light dessert option, try making vegan fruit salad. Start by slicing up your favorite fruits such as strawberries, blueberries, apples, oranges, mangoes, pineapples, etc. Place the fruit slices into a large bowl before adding a few tablespoons of maple syrup or agave nectar and mixing everything until evenly coated. Serve chilled for a refreshing and nutritious snack or dessert.
These are just some of the many delicious vegan and vegetarian desserts that you can make with ease. From classic cookies and brownies to light fruit salads and creamy cheesecakes, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
