Appetizers & Starters

First, always start with a few appetizers and starters your guests can snack on during the evening. Finger food is always perfect to mingle.

Rosemary Sweet Potato Bread Wreath with Baked Camembert

Sweet Potato Toasts with Kale Guacamole

Warm soups

In case of chilly weather, your guests will enjoy to warm up around a small bowl of warm soup, packed with seasonal vegetables. Soup is also perfect to serve as a leftover the following days after the party.

Pumpkin chestnut and red lentil soup

Celeriac and Parsnip Soup

Vegetarian Mains & Sides

Let’s move on to the main and side dishes! As a mostly plant-based food blogger, I focus on vegetarian options here. All of these dishes can actually be enjoyed either as side or main dish. Now if you really want a traditional Thanksgiving, check out my Lemon-Herb Roasted Turkey recipe that I originally prepared for Peugeot Saveurs, and serve along with a few of the following sides.

Spicy Sweet Potato and Peanut Butter Gratin

Maple Balsamic Brussels Sprouts

Smashed Lemony Potatoes with Burrata and Pesto

Vegan Pumpkin and Sweet Potato Shepherd's Pie

Desserts and Sweet Treats

Last but not least, enjoy a slice of pie! Even if your guests are full after the main Thanksgiving meal, they will always find some space for dessert. My tip: make more than needed, and choose from different categories (pies, cakes, small treats) so your guests have plenty of options to choose from.

Best American Pecan Pie

Banoffee Pie

Vegan Maple Pumpkin Pie

Thanksgiving brunch

The days following Thanksgiving are always perfect for a delicious homemade brunch alongside leftovers from the party. Here are a couple of seasonal ideas to make a wonderful Thanksgiving brunch.
