Collage of vegetarian recipes that carnivores love

A vegetarian diet isn’t all just rabbit food. Here are 15 vegetarian recipes that meat eaters will love (yep, even the diehard carnivores)!

Collage of vegetarian recipes that carnivores love

For some people, it’s not truly dinner unless there’s meat on the plate. And I get it. Most of us were raised like this!

But here’s the thing – you can create some killer meals using only vegetables. With belly-filling fiber and more protein than you would expect, plant-based food can be just as satisfying as meat.

So whether you’re a vegetarian cooking for a meat eating husband (or wife or family), or are looking for some Meatless Monday inspiration, I’ve rounded up 15 vegetarian recipes that even meat eaters approve of.

1

King Oyster Mushroom Pulled Pork

"OMG wow! This is absolutely perfect. I’m very omnivore, love food in general. This is very very near pulled pork. I’m in love! Thank you!"

2

Roasted Chickpea Gyros

"Made this for my vegan and non vegan family and EVERYONE loved it! SO GOOD! Added this recipe to my favorites so I could make it often! Thanks for your awesome recipe!"

3

Buttermilk Fried Mushrooms

"I LOVE this recipe. It’s easier than it looks AND satisfies my odd craving."

4

Vegan Tempeh Taco Meat

Flavor-packed vegan Tempeh Taco Meat with smoky spices and the perfect texture (and it’s ready on the stove in under 15 minutes)!

5

Vegan Nachos with BBQ "Pulled Pork" and Queso

"It is now our first choice for nachos.Easy and quick to make and it is enough for 3-4 people. Thank you"

6

Easy Chickpea Pot Pie

"We made this last night for the first time. It’s seriously delicious. Unprompted, my honey – a carnivore – rated it 5/5."

7

Roasted Butternut Chickpea Hummus Wraps

Spicy, savory flavor all wrapped up in warm flatbreads is the name of the game with these Roasted Butternut Chickpea Hummus Wraps! Quick weeknight dinners never tasted so good.

8

Tempeh Vegan Burrito Bowl

A flavor packed (and easy to make) vegan burrito bowl with tempeh taco meat and copycat Chipotle cauliflower rice!

9

Oyster Mushroom Philly Cheesesteak

This vegetarian Philly Cheesesteak transforms oyster mushrooms into the perfect substitute for beef! With sautéed peppers and onions and loads of melted cheese, this is the best meatless cheesesteak.

10

Portobello Mushroom Burgers

"I’ve had Portobello burgers twice at nice restaurants and neither compared to this recipe."

11

Chickpea Tikka Masala

"This was super yummy! AND both of my boys (11 and 14) ate it- so there’s the proof!! I made it in the instant pot. Dumped it all in, mixed it, and set it at low pressure for 4 minutes.Came out perfectly!"

12

Roasted Cauliflower Street Tacos

"I can’t say enough about how much I love this recipe. I’ve made it several times and even my die hard meat eaters enjoy it."

13

Baked General Tso's Cauliflower

"Thank you, this is the first time I have been to your site and tried a recipe (found you on Pinterest). I have to say well done, this was super tasty, even my meat loving husband rated it highly. And I loved that it was baked not fried. Well done!"

14

Goat Cheese Pizza with Mushrooms and White Sauce

This Goat Cheese Pizza recipe has mushrooms, creamy white sauce, and loads of cheese. Pizza Friday just stepped it up a notch!

15

"I made it today and it was a success everyone loved it! delicious and easy to make thanks for the recipe!"
