30 Mouth-Watering Vegan Broccoli Recipes
1. Garlic Broccoli Stir-Fry
One of the best ways to highlight the greatness of broccoli is with this stir-fry. Between the chickpeas and seasonings, the broccoli’s crunch and freshness really shine through here. If you’re not a fan of broccoli’s grassy flavor, don’t worry, you won’t taste it in this dish. What you’ll taste here is the sweet and sticky glaze coating the veg. Yum!
2. Vegan Roasted Broccoli With Lemon and Garlic
This recipe gives bland broccoli a bright and lemony makeover! Seasoned with garlic, spices, and a splash of lemon juice, this dish is showered with a whole lot of flavor. The florets are then roasted in the oven, bringing out their natural flavor. And that texture doesn’t hurt, either!
3. Vegan Broccoli Soup
If you’re looking for a cozy vegan recipe to warm your belly in the winter, this broccoli soup won’t disappoint. It’s rich, creamy, and jam-packed with protein and vegetables. It goes to show that comfort food doesn’t always have to be sinful. Top tip: garnish the soup with vegan bacon and dairy-free sour cream to make it more decadent.
4. Vegan Broccoli Pasta
Adding broccoli to pasta is such a quick way to amp up the nutritional value of your dinner – without sacrificing flavor, of course. A lovely combo of al dente penne and crunchy broccoli, this pasta dish will delight your taste buds with its playful textures. And while the sauce may sound simple – olive oil, vegan butter, garlic, and lemon – I assure you it’s the bomb.
5. Chinese-Style No Beef and Broccoli
This is just like classic Chinese beef and broccoli – but without the beef! But with three meat replacement options, you won’t miss the meat one bit. They all work beautifully, so you just need to decide if you like shiitake mushrooms, tempeh, or tofu best. That said, it’s not really the protein or the broccoli that makes this vegan dish so incredible. It’s all in the sauce. A mix of oyster and soy sauce, black vinegar, rice wine, and other Asian condiments, it’s beyond heavenly.
6. Spicy Chickpea, Broccoli, and Potato Sheet-Pan Vegan Dinner
