Settle in and get your grocery list ready, because we’re here to talk Thanksgiving!

This vegan Thanksgiving menu has a little bit of everything: an easy roasted cabbage or cauliflower, butternut squash stuffed shells, hearty veggie sides, and epic homemade desserts. Our food editors have been hard at work testing (and re-testing) to ensure these dishes are a breeze to pull off in a home kitchen. We love to stick with the classics, but update them ever so slightly for the sake of amplifying their flavor. After all, isn’t the best kind of holiday meal one packed with comforting, delicious food made with love? We promise this feast will go down in history as a meal that is both stylish and substantial.
 
Whole Roasted Cabbage or Cauliflower with Mushrooms
A show-stopping, whole-roasted cabbage or cauliflower is a great way to jazz up a holiday meal with a plant-based main course! You can use a savoy or green cabbage or a beautiful head of cauliflower all the same. Earthy mushrooms and pops of briny olives and capers meld with sweet prunes and wine in one large Dutch oven, meaning you get to "set it and forget it" until it's time to eat!
Cheesy Butternut Squash Stuffed Shells
Turkey is not the *only* highlight of the Thanksgiving table. These stuffed shells are perfect to serve as your main course. Giant pasta shells are filled with a creamy "cheesy" butternut squash puree and spinach, and toasted pine nuts for added nuttiness.
 
Pomegranate Cranberry Sauce
Pucker up! This cranberry sauce uses pomegranate juice and pomegranate molasses, as well as some fresh bay leaves and plump clementines for background sweetness. After the mixture cooks down just sweeten to taste with a few sprinkles of sugar.
 
Maple Cinnamon Hasselback Delicata Squash
