3min read
Vegan dishes don't have to take all day to make. In fact, these quick vegan meals can be on your dinner table in 30 minutes or less.
We've collected our favourite speedy vegan meal ideas below. Or why not save yourself the faff (and the washing up) and stock your freezer with allplants chef-made meals? Packed with wholefoods and ready in as little as 6 minutes, they're perfect for those midweek evenings (or lunches) when you don't have time to cook.
Quick Vegan Dinner Recipes
Vegan Poke Bowl
This tempeh poke bowl is the perfect combination of smooth, crunchy and chewy. It's fresh yet filling, and takes under 30 minutes to come together.
Tofu & Mushroom Stir Fry
Once you see how quickly and easily this stir fry comes together, it will become your new weeknight favourite - whether you eat it with cauliflower or sushi rice.
Vegan Paella
Easy to make and impossible to put down, this crispy, deeply flavoured paella can be on your table in less than 25 minutes.
Courgetti Satay Noodles
This vibrant crunchy salad is the perfect weeknight dinner to impress friends or family. Packed full of colourful veggies, it will stand out on the dinner table and everyone will be going in for second and (sometimes) third helpings.
Vegan Nasi Goreng
Don’t know what to do with your leftover rice? Well, we’ve got a delicious vegan solution for you! Nasi Goreng, an Indonesian-style fried rice, is famed for its aromatic, sweet yet savoury depth of flavour.
Vegan Black Bean Soup
While this vegan soup tastes delicious on its own (think creamy, tangy, sweet and smokey), it's really all about the toppings here. Crispy homemade tortilla chips, smooth avocado, tangy yoghurt and pickled onions make for a party in every spoonful. I know it might sound too good to be true, but it also only takes around thirty minutes to pull together and is extremely adaptable to whatever you have in the cupboard.
Pumpkin Sage Pasta
This weeknight pasta is sweet, cosy, and basically comfort food at its finest. It comes together in under thirty minutes and relies mainly on pantry ingredients and pumpkin (or butternut squash) which, when crisped first and then softened with stock and wine, adds creaminess, depth of flavour and heartiness.
Quick Vegan Meals Delivered
Our chefs have done the hard work so you don't have to. Every dish is packed with plants and designed by a nutritionist so you can relax knowing you've got a quick vegan option in your freezer.
Mac + Greens
Macaroni tossed through our creamy, cheesy sauce with charred broccoli, fresh greens and a delicious toasted crumb. This dish feels indulgent but is low in saturated fat, high in iron and vitamin C and contains 2 of your 5-a-day. What's not to love?
Protein Power Bowl
Miso roasted tofu, coconut and edamame smash, with power grains, sweet chilli broccoli, sesame cabbage, and a pea and edamame medley. Our no. 1 bestseller, this dish is a rainbow of colour and packed with 25.6g of protein per serve.
Teriyaki Udon
A spicy, sticky teriyaki sauce coats satisfyingly thick and chewy udon noodles, with sesame mushrooms, mixed fresh veg and a sprinkling of toasted cashews. Treat yourself to a Friday night fakeaway (or any night of the week for that matter).
Rigatoni Bolognese
A rich and hearty minced mushroom, lentil and walnut ragu, folded through rigatoni pasta and sprinkled with an almond parm crumb. An allplants classic that's loved as much by customers today as it was when we launched.
Miso + Tamari Tofu Bowl
Japanese inspired tamari and chilli glazed tofu, with edamame and lime smash, a daikon, carrot and cabbage slaw with mirin dressing, over a bulgur wheat and quinoa grain mix. Winner of a Great Taste Award and it's easy to see why.
