Looking for plant-based options for your Halloween party? These vegetarian and vegan recipes deliver spooky, delicious dishes everyone can enjoy. Whether you’re hosting family or friends, you’ll find savory and sweet treats—from creamy soups to playful snacks—that bring autumn flavors and festive flair to your table.
Creamy vegan pumpkin soup is a seasonal favorite that warms guests and adds autumn charm to your spread. Roast pumpkin, then blend with vegetable broth and coconut milk for a smooth, rich soup. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and a touch of ginger give it a cozy, festive flavor. Sauté onions, garlic, and ginger in olive oil, add roasted pumpkin, broth, and coconut milk, then simmer to let the spices come together. Garnish with roasted pumpkin seeds or a swirl of coconut cream for added richness and visual appeal.
Mummy veggie dogs are a fun snack for kids and adults alike. Wrap vegan hot dogs in strips of puff pastry, leaving gaps for “eyes,” then bake until golden. Add two small slices of black olive for each mummy’s eyes. The pastry crisps up for a flaky bite while the vegan hot dogs stay savory. They’re easy to make, kid-friendly, and simple to adapt with different seasonings.
Vegan stuffed mini pumpkins make a stunning centerpiece and a tasty individual dish. Hollow small pumpkins and fill them with a mix of quinoa, black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes, seasoned with cumin, chili powder, and a splash of lime. Roast the stuffed pumpkins until tender and golden so the sweet pumpkin flavor pairs with the savory filling. Serve them as single portions or on a shared platter, and swap in other grains or beans if you like.
A hearty vegan witch’s brew stew is perfect for feeding a crowd and setting the mood. Use seasonal veggies like carrots, potatoes, and green beans, and flavor the stew with garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Sauté garlic and onions in olive oil, add the chopped vegetables and vegetable broth, then simmer until tender. Garnish with fresh herbs or a dash of hot sauce for extra heat.
For a spooky, healthy dip, try blood-red beetroot hummus. Roast beets, then blend with chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil for a bright, velvety dip. The earthy beets and creamy tahini make a striking, tasty option for veggies or crackers. Make it ahead, and top with sesame seeds or parsley for texture and color.
Crispy vegan cauliflower “wings” are an impressive party appetizer. Coat cauliflower florets in a batter of flour, cornstarch, and seasonings, then bake until crisp. Toss with spicy buffalo sauce made with vegan butter, and serve with vegan ranch or blue cheese-style dip. Adjust the spice level to suit your guests.
Vegan monster tacos add playful Halloween style to a classic. Fill soft corn tortillas with seasoned black beans and quinoa, then top with purple cabbage for a “monster” tongue, vegan sour cream, avocado, and shredded lettuce. Cook the quinoa and mix with beans, onions, cumin, and chili powder, then assemble with your favorite toppings for a colorful, customizable meal.
Vegan Halloween cookies are simple and fun to bake with kids. Make a basic dough from vegan butter, flour, sugar, and vanilla, roll it out, and cut into spooky shapes like ghosts, pumpkins, or bats. Bake until golden and decorate with vegan icing, sprinkles, or edible glitter. They’re a festive, interactive treat.
A moist, fluffy vegan pumpkin bread brings classic fall flavors to your party. Mix pumpkin puree with flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, maple syrup, and plant-based milk, then bake until golden. Top with pumpkin seeds for crunch. Serve as a snack, dessert, or breakfast, with vegan butter or a dusting of powdered sugar.
Vegan ghost cupcakes are a cute, light dessert. Bake a soft vanilla cake using plant-based ingredients and top with fluffy vegan buttercream. Pipe the frosting into ghost shapes and add two small chocolate chips for eyes. They’re easy to make and decorate, and they add a playful touch to any dessert table.
Vegan stuffed bell peppers are festive and filling. Hollow bell peppers and fill them with quinoa, black beans, corn, and tomatoes, then bake until tender. Carve jack-o’-lantern faces into the peppers for a fun presentation. Serve them as a main or hearty side that’s both colorful and satisfying.
