As the temperature starts to drop and the days get shorter, the desire for slow-cooked roasts and meaty braises may set in for many. But if you’re someone who follows a vegan or vegetarian diet, it doesn’t mean you don’t crave something a bit more comforting and rice than what you’ve been eating over the summer — it’s just that you want it without the meat. Luckily, there are plenty of options that are equally as fitting this time of year. Here are 25 recipes we love.

Vegan Fall Dinners

Perhaps the biggest benefit for vegans this time of year is just how hearty and, well, meaty fall vegetables are. Vegetables like sweet potatoes, winter squash, and cauliflower are in season and they have enough bulk to them to fill even the hungriest person up.

Vegetarian Fall Dinners

The same perk above holds true for vegetarians, as well. Although adding a little cheese or cream to the situation can really only make things a touch more comforting and decadent, which is never a bad thing.
