12 Vegan Keto Recipes, So No One Is Left Out This Holiday Season

That's right—all these recipes are meat-free, dairy-free, and low-carb to boot. Prepare to wow your guests!

To get your party started, we'd recommend this seriously delicious spinach avocado dip for pre-meal munching. Made with avocado and coconut yogurt, it's creamy, healthy, and perfect for pairing with our next recipe.

Ah, zucchini a true keto companion. The low-carb veggie is a gem for mimicking heavier carbs like potatoes, which is why we're including this recipe for oven-baked zucchini chips. Between these easy chips and the spinach avocado dip, people will be amazed the tasty duo is actually pretty healthy.

In case you hadn't realized, we're kind of obsessed with the Instant Pot, and this vegetable soup recipe is no exception. It's everything you want vegetable soup to be: flavorful, packed with a bunch of different veggies, and ready in 45 minutes flat. And of course, it's vegan and keto too.

If you like the sound of soup but are looking for something creamy as opposed to chunky (or if you don't have an Instant Pot), give this cauliflower and turmeric soup a try. Coconut milk, along with an immersion blender, gives this soup its smooth texture, and the turmeric gives it an extra anti-inflammatory boost. Can't go wrong with that!

And speaking of cauliflower (another loyal keto-companion), have you heard it makes a great "steak"? We love Will Cole, D.C.'s recipe for cauliflower steak; it's super-simple and takes less than half an hour to come together. Cauliflower never ceases to amaze us in its versatility, but the marinade? Truly the star of the show here.

This tomato mushroom spaghetti squash recipe would be a great side, but it could stand on its own as an entree, too. And amazingly, not only is the recipe vegan and keto, but it's also paleo, gluten-free, and Whole30-approved. Seriously. But you'd never even think about it because it's just that good.

We love dressing up Brussels sprouts, and the mushroom "bacon" in this sprouts recipe does a great job of that. Maple syrup, smoked paprika, and smoked salt give a bacony flavor to the mushrooms, which are then combined with the sprouts for a sensationally savory side.

For another great vegetable side, we love this asparagus recipe for its taste and simplicity. Roasting the asparagus brings out its flavor, and a fresh squeeze of lemon just before serving ties it all together for a dish that's fresh and uncomplicated. You don't have to include the vegan Parmesan, but we definitely recommend it.

If you really want some oohs and ahs, may we humbly suggest this zucchini tomato pesto bake. It goes without saying that pesto makes just about everything better, and that includes this ratatouille-inspired side. And despite its impressive appearance, it's fairly easy to whip up with the right tools (a mandoline and a cast-iron skillet). If you're looking to impress the vegan and keto people in your life, this is the recipe to do it.

Now it's time to get to the sweet stuff. And amazingly, there is no shortage of vegan and keto dessert recipes out there. This cinnamon roll muffin recipe is one of our favorites because it has no added sugar (yup), and protein powder gives it an extra boost. Plus, it's quick, requiring just a few minutes of prep and a 15-minute bake time.

For a small-bite dessert that's easy to grab and go, these dark saltwater truffles are a great choice. Honey complements the dark chocolate, and a pinch of salt goes a long way to really maximize the truffles' flavor. Just one truffle is super-rich—perfect for the guest who insists on "just one bite" of dessert.
