If you’re doing a meatless Monday or just want to switch things up, these vegetarian dinner ideas go way beyond salads. I’ve got burgers, chili, tacos, pasta all the kind of meals that still feel filling and satisfying, even without the meat.

I try to work a couple of meat-free dinners into our week, and it’s a nice way to mix up the routine while still keeping things balanced. Many of these can be made ahead and frozen, which makes weeknights easier. This list has over 100 vegetarian recipes (and a few desserts) that show up often in our meal rotation.

FAQs

What are some popular vegetarian dishes?

Enjoy a variety of flavorful vegetarian meals without missing the meat. Some easy vegetarian weeknight dinners are hearty chilis and soups, wholesome grain bowls, pasta recipes, and stuffed peppers. Vegetarian tacos, sandwiches, and wraps also come together quickly and are full of flavor. For a more sophisticated weekend dinner, try vegetarian Shepherd’s pie or a zucchini meatless lasagna.

What foods are high in protein in a vegetarian diet?

Grains, beans, and pulses are exceptional sources of plant protein and a great way to bulk up a meal. You can also find protein in dairy, eggs, nuts, seeds, and tofu. It’s important to prioritize these protein sources in vegetarian dishes, so you feel full and satisfied.

Can vegetarians eat eggs and dairy?

Vegetarians eliminate meat from their diet but do still enjoy eating eggs and dairy. If you lean more towards a vegan diet, you can use alternatives to match your needs more specifically. But vegetarians have a more relaxed approach to eating meat-free.
