You'll get rave reviews from guests with this delicious open-faced sandwich—it looks high-maintenance but is super simple to make. Golden raisins and fresh parsley are in the mix to freshen and sweeten the delectable combo of Romesco and cauliflower, but you can try using cilantro and chopped dates for a different spin. Heads up: make sure to buy vegan sourdough bread.

Eggplant meatballs mixed with umami-rich mushrooms, served on fluffy whole-wheat hoagies? These sandwiches are so flavorful, your dinner guests will forget they're made without any meat.

The star of this vibrant noodle dish is a slurpable sauce that's made with a few pantry staples, including apple cider vinegar, almond butter, and toasted sesame oil. The gluten-free soba noodles, which help soak up the sauce, are then tossed with crunchy salt-marinated cucumber, peppery watercress, and quick-pickled radishes. What we love most about this flavorful plant-based meal is that it comes together in just 20 minutes.

Keep your broccoli stems handy to whip up the pesto that coats this pasta. In addition to that often discarded portion of the vegetable, the savory pesto is made with roasted broccoli florets, almonds, lemon zest, lemon juice, arugula, olive oil, salt, and pepper. While the pesto does call for an optional dose of cheese, you can always use vegan-friendly nutritional yeast instead. Once the sauce is done, toss it with the pasta and top the finished dish with some extra broccoli florets and baby arugula.

For an easy vegan meal, load up a cooked sweet potato with some of your favorite veggies. This particular recipe calls for a filling of kale that's cooked in a rich and spicy coconut sauce, which is flavored with lime juice and fragrant curry powder. You'll also find toasted coconut flakes for a little crunch, while the potato itself is flavored with grapefruit juice, butter, and allspice. For a completely plant-based recipe, just omit the butter or use vegan butter (which you can find at Trader Joe's) instead. We guarantee you won't taste the difference.
