30 Vegan, Gluten-Free Recipes That Don’t Taste Like Cardboard

Dark chocolate is never a disappointment (and yes, if it doesn't contain milk, it's vegan). The addition of zingy ginger in this tart keeps every sweet bite intriguing.

We're completely obsessed with this gluten-free noodle soup recipe. It’s easy, inexpensive and the leftovers hold up well for days in the fridge or months in the freezer (just leave out the noodles, then toss them into the broth and cook when you’re ready to eat).

Hello, ranch? We need to break up. This cashew-based salad dressing is creamy, decadent and miraculously, totally vegan. We're going to put it on every salad we eat until the end of time.

Rice noodles are a gluten-free vegan’s best friend. Add in some spiced tofu meatballs to the mix and you’ve made your new favorite dish. (Don't forget a healthy helping of hot sauce.)

Spaghetti squash, with its luscious golden strands and natural al dente texture, is a fantastic gluten-free substitute for traditional pasta. Serve it in its own natural bowl for an added fun touch.

Cornbread can easily be made gluten-free, and it’s just as easy to finish an entire pan of it while dipping it into this yummy soup. And because it features our favorite vegetable on earth (cauliflower, duh) we're keeping it in our regular rotation.

This corn chip-based dish is equally fabulous for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Crumbled tofu subs in for the traditional fried egg topping and it’s an extremely worthy replacement.

Eat your heart out, Chipotle. All of the corn, rice, quinoa and beans in this Mexican-inspired taco bowl fill it with protein and flavor, and the texture changes with every bite of vegan goodness.

Potatoes provide the starchy base for this queso-style dip, keeping all that spicy, gooey deliciousness totally gluten-free. Bring on the tortilla chips (just make sure they're made of corn).

Ground flaxseed makes up the base of these gluten-free bagels. This makes them slightly more dense than traditional bagels, but they're 100 percent plant-based and so ready for your tofu cream cheese spread.

Traditional pho takes hours of cooking time. But thanks to the power of vegan ingredients (and an electric pressure cooker), this rice noodle soup can be yours in just over an hour. No Instant Pot? No problem. Just simmer the soup on your stove and you'll get the same satisfying results.

A combo of brown rice flour and almond flour give this tart a nice crunch. If only all gluten-free, vegan desserts could be this delicious.

Ripe bananas, almond butter and a homemade flax egg (it’s easy, just combine flaxseed meal and water) ensure this loaf of banana bread is moist, gooey and sweet. And best of all, there's only one bowl to wash.

It’s not delivery, it’s your very own gluten-free, plant-based pizza (which is a million times better, IMO). Choose any topping you like to adorn this almond flour-based crust.

Everyone is making chickpea stew these days, and there’s a good reason: It’s easy, über-satisfying and can be made with pantry ingredients like coconut milk and a can of garbanzo beans.

Rice noodles and spicy sauce bring so many layers of flavor with just a few ingredients. If you don’t have broccoli rabe, regular broccoli (or really any cruciferous vegetable, like cauliflower) will work just fine.

Takeout? We don’t know her. We crave this pasta-salad hybrid constantly, so we make this every single week.

Making your own soup doesn’t have to be complicated. Blend up the ingredients, add an Instagram-worthy garnish, ladle it into bowls and watch it disappear.
