Are you always on the hunt for quick, easy, and healthy vegan dinner recipes? Me too! That’s why I decided to gather this collection of fresh and delicious vegan recipes that take 20 minutes from start to finish.
This list assumes you don’t have anything already prepped and in the fridge – no leftover brown rice or quinoa, say – though a world of fast-dinner possibilities opens up when you do! A couple of the recipes do rely on ready-made, store-bought items like pizza crusts, tortillas, and vegetable broth. But for the most part, we’ve got from-scratch goodness right here, on the table in 20 minutes flat. Or less! A busy plant-based eater’s dream come true.

I’m so glad you’re here! I’m a vegetarian home cook, certified plant-based pro, and mom. I’m married to an enthusiastic carnivore, and my mission is to achieve peace in the kitchen – one tasty recipe at a time. These days, I also try not to ask to speak to the manager.
Thank you so much for this! I am moving more towards a plant based diet, and this really helps me out!
