Plant-Based Friendsgiving Feast Recipes

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Clean the mushrooms and remove the stems. Finely chop the stems and set aside.
• In a skillet, sauté the chopped stems with onion and garlic in olive oil until tender and fragrant.
• Crumble in the vegan sausage and cook until browned.
• Stir in nutritional yeast, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
• Stuff each mushroom cap with the filling and place on a baking tray.
• Sprinkle additional nutritional yeast on top.
• Bake for about 20 minutes, until golden and sizzling.
• Serve warm — and don’t be surprised when they disappear fast!

• Simmer 1 cup of green lentils in vegetable broth until tender.
• In a separate pan, sauté onions, carrots, and celery in olive oil until softened. Add garlic at the end to avoid burning.
• In a mixing bowl, combine cooked lentils, sautéed veggies, breadcrumbs, and flaxseeds whisked with water (as your egg replacement).
• Add smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly.
• Press mixture into a parchment-lined loaf pan.
• For the glaze, whisk together ketchup, liquid smoke, and maple syrup. Brush it generously over the loaf.
• Bake at 350°F (177°C) for 45 minutes.
• Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing — this helps the flavors meld and the loaf hold its shape.

Creamy Mashed Potatoes

• Boil the peeled potatoes until fork-tender.
• Warm almond milk, vegan butter, and garlic in a separate pan until lightly simmering.
• Mash the potatoes, gradually folding in the almond milk mixture until creamy.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Crispy Brussel Sprouts with Pomegranate

• Toss halved Brussel sprouts with olive oil and sea salt.

• Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with pomegranate seeds for color and freshness.

Pumpkin Spice Mousse

• Blend coconut cream, pumpkin purée, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and pumpkin spice until smooth.
• Chill for 1 hour before serving.
