Now that the holidays are over, we all need easy, healthy, and of course delicious recipes that are ready in no time. Start the year off right with these 15 easy vegan weeknight meals!

I already posted a roundup of some of my favorite quick veggie meals 1 1/2 years ago and you guys absolutely loved it. It got more than 63.000 shares, so I decided to make another weeknight meal post with newer recipes. I tested all of these recipes several times and some are even among our weekly staple meals.

I absolutely loved the festive food we had over the holidays, but now I’m really craving easy meals with pasta, quinoa, or rice. And with the weather being super cold, also vegan soups and stews. Nothing fancy, just easy meals that are ready in 30 minutes or less. Sometimes I even double the recipe and make a bigger batch so we’ve got leftovers on the next day for lunch. I know some people don’t like leftovers, but I absolutely love them!

All of the recipes in this post are…

• vegan
• made with easily accessible ingredients
• easy to make and perfect for vegan newbies
• kid-friendly
• super delicious

Some of the vegan weeknight meals in this post are naturally gluten-free and some can be made gluten-free by using gluten-free pasta.

I hope you guys like these recipes as much as we do around here! So let’s get started with all the yumminess! Click on the title beneath each picture to see the actual recipe.
