70 Vegetarian Dinners For Every Night Of The Week

Nearly 10% of adult Americans consider themselves vegetarian—that’s nearly 33 million people trying to figure out what in the world to eat for dinner. It’s true, we do have a TON of lists dedicated to weeknight dinners filled with steak, chicken, and seafood, but don’t worry: Vegetarians, we’ve got you, too. Whether you’re a lifelong plant-based eater, a curious omnivore, or are just looking for healthy recipe ideas for meatless Mondays, you're guaranteed to love these 70 incredible vegetarian dinners.

Not only are a lot of Americans vegetarian, so is a significant portion of the world's population. The numbers vary, but suffice it to say, many world cuisines put far less of an emphasis on meat, instead focusing on filling, hearty, creative spins on vegetables and plant-based proteins. Check out our Middle Eastern-Mexican fusion green shakshuka, our Jamaican jerk tofu grain bowls, our Indian saag paneer, our Vietnamese tofu banh mi, or our Chinese/Indian gobi manchurian to see what we mean.

And if you're craving classic meat-based comfort foods, but want to keep it veg-friendly? Check out our seitan piccata, our vegan crunchwrap, our spicy fried “chicken” sandwich, our chickpea “tuna” salad, or tempeh Buffalo “wings” to see just how good these meatless dupes can be. You could also skip the overt protein altogether, and just rely on meaty vegetables like eggplant, mushrooms, and cauliflower to fill the void. Try our air fryer cauliflower tacos (so similar to our fish tacos), vegan chicken-fried mushrooms and gravy, ultimate vegetarian Italian sub, or vegan seared "scallops" with succotash. They're so good, we bet you won’t even miss the meat.
