I’ve been making these end-of-year recaps for a few years now, and I’m always reminded of recipes that I need to make again.

This year’s list has some of my favorite vegetarian recipes, including an Easy Edamame Crunch Salad that you can easily pack for school or work and vegan Butternut Squash Curry that’s the epitome of plant-based comfort food.

There's a lot of variety here, which is great.

Everything from breakfast to drinks, salad, curry, and stuffed peppers made the cut. One thing all of these vegetarian recipes have in common is that they're brimming with flavor.

I'm not surprised these popular vegetarian recipes were your favorites.

In addition to getting some plant-based cooking inspiration from these annual recaps, I also use them as a way to better understand what kind of recipes you're looking for.
