25 Best Stuffed Vegetable Recipes, Vegan, Vegetarian, Healthy
Looking for delicious ways to enjoy more veggies? These Top 25 Stuffed Vegetable Recipes are here to inspire! Whether you’re craving hearty stuffed squash, savory baked bell peppers, or juicy roasted tomatoes bursting with flavor, this collection has something for everyone. Featuring a variety of plant-based and vegan recipes from top food bloggers, these dishes are perfect for lunch, dinner, or impressing guests. Every recipe is made with wholesome ingredients, loaded with nutrients, and full of global flavor—from Mediterranean to Mexican and beyond.
There are just so many vegetables in the plant kingdom that are perfectly made for stuffing with delicious, nutrient-rich fillings. All of those cute little shells, hollows, and cavities make the perfect edible package for a fragrant, savory stuffing. From squash and zucchini to bell peppers and tomatoes, you can stuff healthy, colorful vegetables with fillings based on grains, lentils, beans, peas, veggies, nuts, and herbs. The wonderful thing about this technique is that you can create a meal in one by doing so; those stuffed veggies can provide a well-balanced dish filled with healthy carbs, plant proteins, and all important vegetable servings.
That’s why I asked some of my favorite food bloggers to contribute their best plant-based stuffed vegetable recipes in this recipe collection. I also am sharing a few of my own favorites. Enjoy!
Eat and Live Well,
