Need a little inspiration for Thanksgiving this year? From starters to soups to savories to sweets – here are 30 favorite vegan Thanksgiving recipes from our kitchen to yours. Happy Holidays from The Carrot Underground! 🥕

We’re thankful for all our precious family recipes that have been passed down from generation to generation. During the last 30 years, my husband, daughter and I have had the best time updating and elevating many of them with all vegan ingredients while maintaining the wonderful flavors and textures that made each one so special.

In the process, we have created new traditions while honoring the love and attention that our mothers, aunts and grandmothers devoted to feeding their families while creating their treasured recipes. 🧡 With gratitude.

May you find that special recipe that becomes a new tradition for you.
