Tis the season to incorporate more meatless dishes into your recipe collection. We’ve made a list — and we’ve checked it twice — of some of our favorite holiday appetizers, mains, side, and desserts, almost all of which are plant-based!

Craving chestnuts roasting on an open fire? Try our roasted chestnut soup. Jack Frost nipping at your nose? Nothing will keep you more snug than our warming carrot cauliflower stew. Grandma got ran over by a reindeer? Well, um, we’ve got a great recipe for honey-vanilla poached pears.
