Let’s abstain from meat this Lent with some delicious, tried and true recipes from yours truly! Here are 21 vegetarian recipes for Lent that are sure to have your tastebuds kicking in delight!
I’ve been a vegetarian for over a decade and have tried all of these recipes. They’re delicious and I’m sharing them with you! I hope you have a tasty time giving up meat!
Without further ado, here are 21 Vegetarian Recipes (tried and true!) for Lent each Friday! Get your drool on!
- Scrambled egg tacos. Seriously the simplest thing ever- just add salsa, cheese, avocado, and any veggies you want!
- Easy Tuscan Bean Soup. Add some crusty bread and a leafy green salad and you’re set!
- Healthy Creamy Vegetable Soup. I’ll divulge the secret… the zucchinis make the soup creamy, not actual butter and cream!
- Breakfast for dinner. Fry some eggs and make pancakes or waffles!
- Egg Foo Yung. Add shrimp to make this heartier and double the sauce recipe for next week!
- Cajun Corn Chowder. This soup is all kinds of yum!
- Lo Mein Noodles. Add some shrimp for protein!
- My favorite black bean burger recipe. I seriously make enough to eat this every day of the week! Add some chipotle mayo and the world is good.
- Make a naan/ flatbread pizza. I use the naan from Aldi and put garlic, mozzarella, feta cheese, and tomatoes on it when I’m feeling too lazy to cook!
- Asian salmon in foil. I make this year-round for my family. It’s a winning recipe!
- Oven blackened tilapia– one of the least expensive fish now has a recipe you’ll crave! 😉
- Crab bisque. Rich and creamy; I make this for Christmas Eve too!
- French Onion Gnocchi Casserole. It’s so rich that my husband can only stand it once per year, but I make sure it graces our table every Lent. I love this so much!
- Best Lentil Soup. I’ve made a lot of lentil soups and I concur that this one is the best!
- Veggies and lentils in peanut sauce. This also freezes well so double the batch and freeze for a future Lenten Friday!
- Spinach white bean enchiladas. Pepper jack cheese sauce… need I say more?!
- Quinoa enchilada casserole. Spicy, simple and satisfying!
- Greek spinach pie. I tried this once at a farmer’s market and made a dozen trying to find the right recipe to replicate it… this is it. You’re welcome!
- Roasted chickpea gyros. A friend made these for us once and I’ve loved them ever since!
- Crockpot ravioli lasagna. This is the recipe I give people when they ask what crockpot meals I make my family!
- Tuna noodle casserole. You can’t go through Lent without opening a can of tuna. This is my husband’s favorite tuna recipe!
I hope these vegetarian recipes help to keep you and your family filled this Lent and ease the burden of thinking up what to make this meatless Friday!
