Plant-Based Thanksgiving Recipe: Stuffed Acorn Squash

Plant Based Acorn Squash Recipe

A plant-based Thanksgiving may sound daunting, but when you think about it, most traditional side dishes are veggie-based. Stick to mashed potatoes, green beans, cranberry chutney, and sweet potatoes. Go with mushroom gravy instead of turkey gravy (try this recipe or use our Hungarian Mushroom Soup as gravy!).

For the main event, serve Stuffed Acorn Squash. It’s hearty, filling, and takes way less cook-time than a turkey! Got a sweet tooth? No plant-based Thanksgiving is complete without our No-Bake Pumpkin Pie for dessert.

Prep time: 45 minutes

Bake time: 50 minutes

Serves: 2
