Thanksgiving is, without a doubt, one of our favorite holidays. It’s a time to celebrate those we love, come together in gratitude, and share a very delicious meal. This year, in collaboration with our community of plant-based chefs and creatives, we’ve planned a completely vegan menu. From traditional favorites like creamy mashed potatoes to inventive sides like spicy mac n’ cheese made with a smoky chipotle “cheese” sauce, here are 11 recipes to make your Thanksgiving feast truly unforgettable.
