    Most Popular Vegetarian Recipes of 2019

    A recap of the most popular vegetarian recipes published on Grateful Grazer in 2019.

    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.

    Want to help?

    If there's anything specific you'd like to see on the blog next year, please send me a message. I’d love to hear from you.

    Ceramic Bowl of Easy Edamame Crunch Salad is number one on list of Most Popular Vegetarian Recipes.

    Easy Edamame Crunch Salad 

    Number one on this year's list is an Easy Edamame Crunch Salad. Make this vegan recipe with protein-packed soybeans, crunchy vegetables, and spicy peanut dressing. I love this Asian-inspired lunch because it’s packable and perfect for meal prep.

    Roasted Butternut Squash Curry

    Popular Vegetarian Recipes include yellow butternut squash curry in a skillet with bowls of curry next to it.

    Roasted Butternut Squash Curry

    I only posted this Roasted Butternut Squash Curry a couple of months ago, but it’s already one of the most-trafficked posts of the year. I guess I’m not the only one who loves a good vegan comfort food recipe with lentils and hearty Brussels sprouts. Have you tried it yet? 

    Crispy Tofu

    Curry-inspired Coconut Noodle Soup is a flavorful lunch or dinner you can get on the table in 30 minutes or less. Top with grilled shrimp or enjoy without to keep it vegan. You'll still get plenty of plant-based protein from the edamame.

    Toasted Coconut Iced Matcha Latte

    Toasted Coconut Iced Matcha Latte

    The drink of my midafternoon slump dreams. Vanilla and toasted coconut lend tropical vibes to this refreshing Iced Matcha Latte recipe. It tastes delicious, but I also love that the caffeine and l-theanine in green tea provides an energizing pickup.

    Looking for a new way to fill your bowl? Try umami-rich Shiitake Mushroom Bowls simmered in a creamy vegan miso sauce. This recipe was inspired by a meal I had in California that I still think about to this day. You'll want to drizzle this creamy, dairy-free sauce on everything.

    Strawberry Oat Milk

    Black Bean Stuffed Poblano Peppers

    Black Bean Stuffed Poblano Peppers

    My take on stuffed peppers? Poblanos have the ideal size and spiciness. Try them out with this easy recipe for vegan stuffed peppers with black beans and corn. My favorite part is the tangy cilantro-lime avocado sauce. So good. 

    One-Pan Crispy Eggplant Caprese

    Crispy Eggplant Caprese in a cast iron skillet is one of the Most Popular Vegetarian Recipes of 2019.
