31 Vegan Thanksgiving Side Dishes

My Thanksgiving looks a heck of a lot different than they used to. For starters, I don't eat turkey. And then throw in that I also don't eat gluten or dairy, and from our typical Thanksgiving spread, I'm pretty much left with green salad.

But I won't settle for that because I know there are hundreds of healthy, delicious, gluten-free, vegan Thanksgiving recipes out there that even my “regular diet” family members would love.

Seeing as though Thanksgiving is swiftly approaching, and I know many of you also have similar dietary restrictions as me, I thought I would make this year's menu planning a little bit simpler. I've scoured the web and found 31 of my FAVORITE vegan Thanksgiving side dishes, many of which are just a healthy spin on the classics. So fill your plate with deliciousness, my friends. This Thanksgiving is going to be a FEAST!
