Entertaining guests with dietary restrictions during the holiday season can be tricky. And if you’re one of the people who have dietary restrictions, going to events at this time of year can feel stressful. But with the rise in plant-based offerings, there are meal options to please everyone. Food expert Hannah Sunderani shares four vegan side dishes to satisfy everyone coming to dinner. 

Vegan mashed potatoes

So creamy, light, and fluffy. And flavour rich with roasted garlic, fried rosemary, and thyme. Serve these at any gathering and let them be the star of the meal.

Maple-roasted Brussels sprouts

Crispy and golden Brussels sprouts infused with a spicy maple dressing. Sprinkled with toasted hazelnuts. This recipe is restaurant worthy and so gourmet!

Vegan pecan pie

Perfectly sweet, nutty, and caramelized. This vegan pecan pie is sweetened with brown rice syrup and maple syrup (a healthier alternative to traditional corn syrup). Enjoy every bite of this sweet and decadent pecan pie. 

Nut roast

This nut roast recipe is a great meat-free alternative for your holiday get-togethers. Vegan and gluten-free. This roast is savoury and satiating, made with wholesome ingredients. Nobody will miss the meat!
