There’s nothing better than getting the family together for a hearty meal on a Sunday. And thanks to these vegan roast dinner recipes, that doesn’t change just because you’re plant-based!
Contrary to popular belief, vegan Sunday roasts aren’t limited to nut roasts. Sure, a nutty roast is tasty, but let’s explore other options. Feast your eyes on these delicious recipes and get inspiration for your Sunday dinner. These will delight meat-eaters and veggies alike.
1) Big Puff Pie
This hearty and delicious pie is basically a stew with a pastry hat. It’s fairly quick and easy to make because it uses ready-made puff pastry sheets and the pastry is baked in the oven while the filling cooks on the stove. Then you assemble it and serve – to loud applause, of course!
2) Vegan Shepherd’s Pie
Shepherd’s pie is a timeless family favourite, and the good news is you can still enjoy it as a vegan. This simple and super filling recipe is full of fibre, nutrients and warming flavours. If you’re going to try any of our vegan roasts, try this one.
