Here’s a roundup of 25 delicious grain-free vegetarian recipes that are perfect for anyone avoiding gluten and trying to eat more fruits and vegetables.

Readers have asked me whether it’s possible to eat paleo while sticking to a vegetarian diet.  It’s a tough question, and since I’m not a vegetarian, I can’t really answer.  I imagine, though, that a paleo-ish vegetarian diet that allows some legumes and/or dairy could totally work–it’s definitely possible to eat a grain-free vegetarian diet (and a grain-free vegan diet–the blog YumUniverse is proof!).  It’s harder to imagine being a paleo vegan, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of delicious recipes out there that satisfy both diets.

Here are 25 grain-free vegetarian recipes; 17 of them are also vegan.  Even if you’re not vegetarian or vegan, I hope these recipes will inspire you to cook something new and delicious with plant-based ingredients!
