45 Hearty Vegetarian Dinner Recipes To Make This Fall
Beef up your fall dinners (minus the meat!).

Can we be honest? We're sort of relieved summer is over, especially since fall ushers in all our favorite dinner favorites, namely warm, comforting meals, like casseroles, soups, and pasta bakes. Too often, though, those meals revolve around meat (we know we’re partially to blame, we do love an easy chicken or steak dinner). Even if you don’t eat meat, you too can enjoy a cozy meal this autumn (check out our cabbage schnitzel for all the proof you'll need). Whether you’re a strict vegetarian or are just looking for occasional meatless meals, we’ve got recipes for you. Check out our 45 fall vegetarian recipes for ideas—they’re just as good as their meat-heavy counterparts (and maybe even better!).
Got a busy fall and need quick and easy weeknight dinner options? Try incorporating the bounty of fall produce into the meals you already know and love. Enjoy a cheesy, creamy noodle dish? Check out our french onion stuffed shells, our butternut squash risotto, our pumpkin lasagna, or our butternut squash mac & cheese for ideas on how to sneak more veggies into them. Into ordering takeout? Try our saag paneer, our sesame tofu and broccoli (we’ve got the top tips for taking tofu from blah to amazing), our butternut squash curry, or our Nashville hot cauliflower. You might never need to order delivery again.
Looking for a dinner that’s a little more remarkable (for a special occasion or a holiday like Thanksgiving, perhaps)? We got you. For date night, birthdays, or just an extra momentous Tuesday, try one of our recipes that takes just a smidge more effort than normal. You could make your own pasta or dumplings, like in our pumpkin ravioli 0r butternut squash pot stickers, or try your hand at breading meat alternatives, like in our tofu katsu curry or our chicken-fried mushrooms & gravy. If you’re looking for a vegetarian holiday showstopper, look no further than our whole roasted cabbage or our brown sugar BBQ whole roasted cauliflower. Served whole, surrounded by colorful veggies, they can stand up to even the most elaborate of meat mains.
