vegetarian and vegan christmas

Do you know what you're making for Christmas dinner yet? If you are vegan or vegetarian it can be challenging to know what to cook for Christmas. Here are five delicious and festive vegetarian roast dinner alternatives to try this Christmas.

I've eaten all kinds of different things for Christmas dinner from the ubiquitous nut roast, to Delia's parsnip roulade and Rose Elliot's Christmas galette. In more recent years I've created my own recipes for Christmas.

If you still haven't decided what to make for your vegetarian Christmas dinner why not try one of these delicious vegetarian Christmas recipes. They'd all be perfect as the centrepiece for any festive feast.

Five delicious vegetarian roast dinner alternatives for Christmas

Roast Stuffed Seitan Roulade

Roast Stuffed Seitan Roulade - vegetarian and vegan roast dinner by Yumsome

I've only recently heard about seitan. If you're like me and are currently wondering what on earth seitan is then it's a product derived from wheat gluten that is chewy and high in protein. It is said to make an excellent meat substitute. This recipe from Yumsome looks perfectly festive and is a great choice for vegans. Get the recipe.

Cranberry, Feta and Quinoa Stuffed Butternut Squash

Cranberry, Feta and Quinoa Stuffed Butternut Squash - vegetarian roast dinner by Easy Peasy Foodie

I've never had feta cheese as part of a Christmas main but this recipe from Easy Peasy Foodie looks so utterly tempting that I just have to give it a try! Get the recipe. 

Vegetarian Christmas Plait

Vegetarian Christmas Plait - vegetarian roast dinner alternative by Only Crumbs Remain

At first glance this recipe from Only Crumbs Remain looks the most traditional option on this page. Sure enough it's packed full of cranberries, chestnuts and onions but you'll also find feta cheese and mixed beans inside. Delicious. Get the recipe.

Wild Mushroom and Greens Pie

Wild Mushroom and Greens Pie by Kellie's Food to Glow - vegetarian roast dinner alternative

If you're a mushroom lover then this delicious looking pie from Food To Glow is perfect for you. Get the recipe.

Parsnip, Chestnut and Sage Loaf

    Such a wonderful selection of Christmas yums - and such a great change from a list of desserts and sides. I'd happily devour all of these (non-vegan ingredients and cranberries notwithstanding!).
    Thank you so much for featuring my seitan roulade, Mandy - I'm always surprised when people haven't heard of it... I think I just take it for granted! That said, if you've had mock duck or other mock meats in Chinese restaurants (or out of a tin from Holland and Barrett!), you've had seitan. 'Tis most nom! xx
