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!
Do you have any favorite grain-free vegetarian recipes? Feel free to share in the comments!
