Vegetarian and Vegan Menu Ideas

Whatever the time of day, venue, or occasion, this page of vegetarian recipes and menus can help you plan the perfect meal.

Meals

I know many people don’t like it, but I swear by eating a good breakfast – it gives me more energy throughout the day and keeps me from thinking about lunch from 10am on. Here are some of my favorite breakfast recipes.

Courses and Accompaniments

This page includes recipes for vegetarian side dishes, snacks, and appetizers that aren’t salads or soups.

Special Menus

Meals with a mixed group of vegetarians and non-vegetarians can require a lot of extra effort from the cook. However, you can save a lot of work by making similar dishes for both groups – a vegetarian version and a meat version. Here are some adaptable vegetarian recipes that lend themselves easily to meat additions.

Blueberry Smoothie Bowl

Quick and easy blueberry smoothie topped with coconut, almonds, and banana.

Chef John's Shakshuka

This North African one-dish-meal is so fast, easy, and delicious. Be sure to cook your sauce until the veggies are nice and soft and sweet. Once the eggs go in, you can finish covered on the stove, or just pop the pan into a hot oven until they cook to your liking.

Zavioli with Spinach and Ricotta

A low-carb take on ravioli. Thin strips of zucchini are stuffed with a classic magro (lean) filling and pesto, topped with tomato sauce and cheese, then baked. Top with fresh hot chile peppers or pepper flakes and more Parmesan cheese.

Grilled Portobello Mushrooms with Mashed Cannellini Beans and Harissa Sauce

This appetizer is loaded with so many flavors and it's vegetarian and healthy. Give it a shot if you want to impress! It may sound like a ton of work, but it really is simple. If you like bold flavors, you will love it!

Summer Bounty 'Pasta'

This is a quick dish using fresh produce. Serve hot with some crusty bread for a delicious end-of-summer meal that's ready in minutes.

Thai Rice Noodle Salad

Just made it up 5 minutes ago and it's really good. It can be served warm or cold; toss again right before serving. Do not overcook the noodles.

Vegan Mexican Quinoa Bowl with Green Chile Cilantro Sauce

Quinoa gets tossed with red bell peppers, black beans, romaine, and red onions, then smothered in a dairy-free sauce with a jalapeño kick. An easy meal!

Best Vegetarian Meals

We set out to sample meatless meals at fast food and casual restaurants in order to find establishments that do justice to vegetarian diners by creating at least one or two scrumptious non-meat options. We’re not talking about shops that slap a prepackaged name brand veggie burger between a bun, but places that create their own meatless magic.

Panera Bread

For more casual dinners, this tangy, crunchy combo of cilantro jalapeño hummus, tart peppedew peppers, feta cheese, cucumbers, lettuce, tomato, and onions from Panera Bread hits all the right flavor notes.

Papa Murphy's

You could tuck into a couple of slices of Papa Murphy’s Gourmet Vegetarian Pizza for a whopping 601 calories and 1,360 milligrams of sodium. Or you could lighten things up considerably with two slices of Papa’s deLITE Veggie Pizza. Thanks to its cracker-style crust you’ll slash 279 calories, 9 grams of fat and over 900 milligrams of sodium.

Chipotle Mexican Grill

The fast casual Mexican chain, Chipotle Mexican Grill puts the emphasis on fresh and tasty but be aware of additional salt in the food. Once you start picking and choosing your vegetarian combo, sodium numbers start to skyrocket. Fresh salsas are the biggest offenders with upwards of 400 to 500 milligrams in just a few spoonfuls (ounces).

Subway

Footlong Veggie Delight (on 9-Grain wheat bread with Swiss cheese, lettuce, onions, green peppers and cucumbers.)

Noodles & Company

Chock-full of all kinds of colorful veggies, rice noodles, and a splash of coconut milk, this little Thai-style curry from Noodles & Company is tasty. But with just 4 grams of protein per bowl, it helps to add a side of tofu. Ditto for the tasty Indonesian Peanut Sate.

Ruby Tuesday

Ruby Tuesday’s takes pasta marinara to a whole new level, trading traditional spaghetti for a combo of spaghetti squash and zucchini tossed in a zesty red pepper marinara. The result: a plateful of satisfying vegetables that’s lower in calories and carbs than your average pasta plate but just as big on flavor.
